Tottenham starting XI vs Team K-League: Richarlison and Gil start, Bissouma and Perisic absent

Antonio Conte has had to deal with a number of absences when naming his Tottenham Hotspur team to face Team K-League on Wednesday in Seoul.

Spurs have been preparing for their first match of pre-season in South Korea with tough double sessions in the heat and humidity. Now in wet conditions they will take on a team made up of the best players in Korea's Team K-League.

Conte will have to do without most of his new signings with Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster missing out through illness while Ivan Perisic is not yet ready to feature as he recovers from a calf injury suffered on the final day of last season. Dejan Kulusevski missed training on Tuesday after pulling out during Monday evening session with what looked like a calf problem but he is part of the matchday squad in Seoul.
