Tottenham Hotspur have been forced into a late change to their match squad for this evening’s match against Burnley.
Harvey White has been replaced by teenage forward Dane Scarlett on the bench, with no reason given as of yet for why the midfielder has withdrawn.
White had found himself becoming somewhat of a regular on Antonio Conte’s bench in recent weeks, having secured a place among the replacements for the last four Premier League matches prior to this evening’s fixture (transfermarkt).
The 20-year-old was said to have been wanted on loan by a number of clubs in January including Sunderland, Luton and Portsmouth, however, Spurs decided against sending him out for the remainder of the campaign (Dan Kilpatrick).

This close to kick off, it would be likely that White has picked up a niggle during the warm-up ahead of the clash at Turf Moor.
With Harry Winks already among the subs, the chances of White having been called upon this evening were relatively low.
