Get ready for a thrilling UEFA Champions League clash as Tottenham Hotspur takes on FC Copenhagen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight at 8 PM UK time! But here's where it gets interesting: Manager Thomas Frank has shaken things up with five bold changes to the starting lineup following their weekend match against Chelsea. Let’s dive into the details!
Key Changes to Watch: Cristian Romero is back to lead the team as captain at center-back, bringing much-needed stability to the defense. Joining him is Destiny Udogie, who makes his first start in a month and his debut in this prestigious competition—a moment he’s surely been waiting for. And this is the part most people miss: The midfield and attack have seen some strategic reshuffling too. Lucas Bergvall, sidelined due to concussion protocols, is replaced by Brennan Johnson, while Wilson Odobert steps in for Mohammed Kudus, who’s absent tonight. In a move that’s sure to spark debate, Xavi Simons takes Joao Palhinha’s spot in midfield. Is this the right call? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Rising Stars Take the Spotlight: Academy forward Yusuf Akhamrich makes history with his first-ever inclusion in the Men’s matchday squad, earning a spot on the bench. Could this be the start of something big for the young talent?
Starting XI: Vicario, Xavi, Udogie, Romero (c), Johnson, Pedro Porro, Odobert, Sarr, Bentancur, van de Ven, Kolo Muani.
Substitutes: Kinsky, Austin, Danso, Palhinha, Richarlison, Spence, Scarlett, Kyerematen, Akhamrich, Rowswell.
