Tottenham XI vs Luton: Lo Celso and Gil return - Starting lineup and confirmed team news for Premier League

Tottenham have named an unchanged side for their trip to Luton.

But Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso are back on the bench for Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou has one fresh injury concern, with Manor Solomon expected to sidelined for three to four months following knee surgery this week.

The Tottenham winger damaged his meniscus in training and had surgery on Thursday, joining fellow winger Ivan Perisic among Spurs' long-term absentees.

Brennan Johnson will also miss the fixture at Kenilworth Road as he continues to nurse a hamstring problem but Postecoglou expects the deadline-day signing to be fit after the international break.

Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Rodrigo Bentancur (ACL) are getting closer to fitness but remain sidelined.

Heung-min Son has been nursing a tight groin but trained on Thursday and Friday, while James Maddison jarred his knee against Arsenal a fortnight ago but has not missed a session this week.

Postecoglou said Friday: “Manor Solomon unfortunately during training got a significant injury to his knee, he'll miss some significant game time over the next few months.

“That's disappointing because he was contributing for us already and growing into his role.

“With Ivan Perisic already down, it's not ideal when you lose a player in that position. Brennan Johnson is close but he's not quite 100 per cent and with the international break we're kind of hoping he'll get that time during that to be available straight after. Everyone else from last week is OK.

“Sonny's fine. He trained the last two days, no problem.

“Gio and Bryan Gil both trained for the majority of this week. It’s good to have them both back and they’re both available.”

Tottenham XI: Vicario, Udogie, Porro, Van de Ven, Romero, Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son

Subs: Forster, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Gil, Royal, Dier, Lo Celso, Davies, Veliz

Time and date: 12.30pm, Saturday October 7, 2023

Venue: Kenilworth Road
