Spurs team news vs Hoffenheim
Roberto De Zerbi continues to nurse injuries in pre-season, with Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert still sidelined as they continue their recovery from the ACL injuries they picked up last season.
Dominic Solanke is also a doubt for this one after taking a knock to his ankle. James Maddison, however, should be fit to be involved here after clarifying that he has been involved in training despite reports of a hip problem.
As for Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski, they continue their rehabilitation after making a return to training earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven are yet to be involved in any pre-season games. It remains to be seen if De Zerbi will hand them any game time.
