Ange Postecoglou faces limited options for rotation as Tottenham head to Hungary for their Europa League clash against Ferencvaros tonight.


While the midfield offers flexibility, with Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, and Lucas Bergvall all pushing for starts after last week’s 3-0 win over Qarabag, Postecoglou has fewer choices in other areas. Left-back Destiny Udogie remains in London due to a muscle injury sustained against Manchester United, though Postecoglou described it as “nothing significant.” Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are not part of the European squad, leaving Ben Davies as the likely starter at left-back. With Radu Dragusin suspended and Micky van de Ven potentially rested, Archie Gray could step in as a center-back or cover at right-back for Pedro Porro.





Up front, Postecoglou is short-handed. Captain Heung-min Son is still sidelined, and Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are also unavailable. This could lead to a debut for 17-year-old Mikey Moore, allowing Brennan Johnson a rest, while Will Lankshear may make his debut from the bench.


Predicted Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Gray, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner.


Ferencvaros, on the other hand, appear to have a clean bill of health going into the match. Head coach Jansen is likely to field his strongest lineup, making several changes from the team that defeated Puskas Akademia last weekend. Endre Botka, Gabor Szalai, and Cristian Ramirez are expected to return to bolster the defense alongside Ibrahim Cisse. However, Raul Gustavo could keep his spot if Jansen opts for a back five. In midfield, Philippe Rommens may come in to partner Mohammad Abu Fani, replacing Habib Maiga.


Adama Traore could shift to the left wing if Kady is recalled, while Norwegian playmaker Kristoffer Zachariassen is set to play centrally, supporting either Barnabas Varga or Matheus Saldanha up front.


Predicted scoreline: Ferencvaros 1:4 Tottenham
