A number of Tottenham Hotspur players have dropped hints about the potential starting XI ahead of tonight’s Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar.
Spurs will face the Eredivisie club in their third fixture of this season’s new look league phase. Ange Postecoglou’s team already have six points from their first two matches, with wins over Qarabag and Ferencvaros before the recent international break.
Tottenham go into the game on the back of a 4-1 win over West Ham in the London derby in the Premier League at the weekend.
In terms of team selection, Postecoglou has already confirmed that club captain Son Heung-Min will not be involved in the fixture due to a fitness issue, having only recently returned from a hamstring injury.
There was positive news, though, with Richarlison and Wilson Odobert both available for the Europa League clash this evening, having spent time on the sidelines over the last few weeks.
It’s common for players who are involved either in the starting line-up or a matchday squad to post pre-match graphics on their social media platforms in the hours leading up to games, and four Tottenham players have done just that.

Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin all posted pre-match graphics on their Instagram stories on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Given all four players occupy a position in Spurs’ defence, the hints on social media could reveal the back four that Postecoglou has chosen for the clash against the Dutch side.
If that is the case, then it would represent one change from defence that beat West Ham at the weekend, with Cristian Romero the man to make way from that back four.
