Tottenham make changes for tonight’s Europa League clash with Galatasaray.
With Ben Davies set to be needed at centre-back, Archie Gray was the obvious choice to fill in at left-back if Ange Postecoglou wants to rest Destiny Udogie. Neither Djed Spence nor Sergio Reguilon are eligible.
Udogie was supposed to have a night off in the Carabao Cup against Manchester City last mid-week but was called into action early following a hamstring injury for Micky van de Ven, which will keep him out until after the international break.

Spurs' other mainstay at centre-back is Cristian Romero, who was forced off injured against Aston Villa at the weekend and will not be risked here.
Postecoglou can at least change his entire midfield, with Yves Bissouma, Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison set to come into the XI.
Young striker Will Lankshear makes his second start after a full debut against Ferencvaros in the opening game of this competition.
Wilson Odobert is also sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Spurs starting XI (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bergvall, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Lankshear, Son
Subs: Vicario, Austin, Udogie, Dorrington, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Cassanova, Oluesi, Williams-Barnett, Solanke
