Tottenham Confirm XI as Fitness Questions Shape Final-Day Survival Test

Overview

• Tottenham published a confirmed starting XI on Sunday with Antonin Kinsky starting in goal and Guglielmo Vicario named on the bench because he lacks match sharpness.
• Dominic Solanke was declared fit to play after a hamstring problem but started among the substitutes and could be used from the bench.
• James Maddison is available for action but was not selected to start as De Zerbi will monitor his minutes because of recent ACL rehabilitation.
• Djed Spence is available to play despite a broken jaw sustained midweek and is expected to wear a protective mask if selected.
• A run of injuries including Cristian Romero’s ongoing knee rehab in Argentina has left De Zerbi short of options and forced him to favour continuity, with a win needed to guarantee safety and a loss combined with a West Ham victory risking relegation.
