No Romero: Thomas Frank Could Name Highly Changed Side For Tottenham’s Second Friendly Vs Luton Town Opinion
After a convincing 2-0 victory over Reading last weekend, Thomas Frank is getting ready to take charge of his second
game as a substitute for his new employers when Tottenham Hotspur visits Kenilworth Road this Saturday, July 26.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the former Brentford manager would switch up his team a little as he continues to
evaluate his possibilities and try out different strategies in preparation for the 2025–2026 season.
It is just the second game of the pre-season, so things should expectably be slow as the players work towards their
full fitness, but we are also expecting a few players to get a run in as the Dane head coach starts understanding the
quality of the players at Hotspur Way.
Richy to return upfront?
Richarlison was one of the players who did not play against Reading, but the Brazilian international who was linked
to the exit is back to full training and is expected to start at the top of the lineup for the North Londoners. With the
former Watford striker leading the line, Mohammed Kudus will have the chance to fill the role of attacking
midfielder or second striker that Frank excelled at at Gtech Community Stadium. In the first friendly, Kudus, the
new N17 signing, made a spectacular debut wearing the Spurs badge. He contributed significantly to both goals and
gave early indications of his versatility, which will make him a valuable asset this season.
Following an extended offseason, the wide forward duo of Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert are also expected to make
their first appearances of the 2025/26 pre-season this season, as they will take the roles on either flank, which
should see them rotating with Richarlison to make it a more fluid front line.
Vuskovic to keep his place at the back?
pivot roles as both of them look to impress the new head coach, where Gray will likely be taking up deeper duties,
whilst this frees Bergvall to play in a more box-to-box role.
After making an impression with a goal and an assist on his Spurs debut last weekend, Luka Vuskovic should remain
in the centre of defence. The Croat may play at the back with Micky van de Ven. Additionally, we can see Destiny
Udogie starting at left-back once more. Djed Spence, who played a great compliment to Kudus against Reading last
weekend, can be chosen to start at right-back instead of Pedro Porro.
And lastly, coming to the man with gloves between the sticks, Antonin Kinsky will possibly get another opportunity
to impress after his composed outing against Reading.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Luton for this weekend friendly:
Kinsky, Spence, Vuskovic, Van de Ven, Udogie, Gray, Bergvall, Tel, Kudus, Odobert, Richarlison
