Tottenham Hotspur have been boosted by the news that they are suffering no new injury concerns ahead of their opening Champions League game against Olympiakos on Wednesday, with Football.London expecting both Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli to feature.
Spurs come off the back of a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, with the Lilywhites scoring three goals in the first 23 minutes of the game. Goals from Son Heung-min, Erik Lamela and an own-goal from Patrick van Aanholt saw the north London giants win for the first time in three games after two draws and a defeat.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men will be playing their first game in Europe’s premier competition since they lost 2-0 to Liverpool in last season’s final.
Spurs have received some positive news as Ndombele and Alli have both been confirmed to be returning for the game on Wednesday, and that will mean more options.
Ndombele showed his class in the Champions League last season with Olympique Lyonnais, performing well away at Manchester City as the French side ran out 2-1 winners. Nothing more can be said about Alli, who has contributed a ton of goals since joining the club, 102 in just 185 games in all competitions (via Transfermarkt).
The club can also take pride in their performances away at the Etihad and the Emirates this season, where they managed to get two valuable points.
Saturday’s victory is the perfect catalyst for the squad to push on and have a successful season. And with their rivals for the top four in Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United all looking far from convincing this season, there’s no reason why Spurs cannot target third-place in the Premier League and a trophy this season.
Tottenham Hotspur fans, does the team news help the squad options? Let us know your thought below.
