Get ready for an exciting Premier League clash as Tottenham Hotspur takes on Fulham on Sunday afternoon! But here's the twist: Igor Tudor, Tottenham's manager, has made some intriguing team selections that have everyone talking.
The Big Absence: Djed Spence
One notable absence from the squad is Djed Spence, who is out due to a minor calf injury. This raises eyebrows, especially considering the team's recent struggles in this fixture.
Injury Returns: Porro and Solanke
On the bright side, Tudor has welcomed back two key players from injury: Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke. Porro, a Spanish right-back, starts the match, while Solanke joins Randal Kolo Muani in the starting lineup.
Tudor's Strategy: Moving Away from the Drop Zone
With teams around them losing on Saturday, Spurs have a golden opportunity to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Tudor's men need to grab a point or three at Craven Cottage to make a significant move up the table.
The Starting XI
Here's the team Tudor has chosen to face Marco Silva's Fulham side:
Vicario, Porro, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Gray, Palhinha, Bissouma, Gallagher, Kolo Muani, Solanke, Xavi.
Subs: Kinsky, Austin, Rowswell, Danso, Souza, Sarr, Olusesi, Tel, Richarlison.
And this is the part most people miss: the impact of these substitutions could be crucial in the second half.
So, what do you think of Tudor's team selection? Will it be enough to secure a win and move away from the drop zone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
