# Tottenham Hotspur: Jose Mourinho confirms team news

**When asked about the latest Tottenham Hotspur team news, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed the latest to [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/mourinho-son-injury-celso-kane-20196411) – with Spurs star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg set to miss the Europa League clash tonight against Dinamo Zagreb through suspension.**

### Jose Mourinho confirms Tottenham team news

Hojbjerg, who signed for Tottenham in the summer, has debatably been one of their best signings of that window alongside Sergio Reguilon – and he could be a miss.

Mourinho is predicted by [reliable Lilywhites correspondent Alasdair Gold](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/tottenham-team-dinamo-zagreb-bergwijn-20189843) to play both Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks in midfield as a replacement for the Dane while Erik Lamela, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn play further in front of him.

Tottenham hold a solid [2-0 advantage over the Croatian giants](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9fMxdeSVM&feature=onebox) heading into tonight’s second leg, courtesy of a brace from Harry Kane in north London, and Mourinho has also confirmed that the Englishman is [set to start](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/mourinho-son-injury-celso-kane-20196411) this afternoon.

Giovani Lo Celso, who has been sidelined for months, is also ‘[back to the squad](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/mourinho-son-injury-celso-kane-20196411)‘ according to Mourinho.

As Hojbjerg is set to miss the Zagreb clash, with Mourinho previously hailing him as a ‘[phenomenal player](https://www.goal.com/en/news/simplicity-is-genius-mourinho-lauds-phenomenal-hojbjerg-in/t4xmdzukz7qx1xjdamk3r8bab)‘, it remains to be seen how Tottenham line up in midfield.
