Tottenham squad and team newsTottenham will have Ben Davies back with the squad as the defender is making a comeback from an ankle injury. However, Oliver Skipp is doubtful after the midfielder suffered a knock during a recent training session which has required stitches on top of his foot.
It remains to be seen whether Clement Lenglet finally gets to start with his new team after playing a part from the bench during the 2-1 win against Rangers. The other new signings - Ivan Perisic, Yves Bisouma, and Djed Spence - should also feature at some point, if they don't start, as Antonio Conte has been making wholesale changes to the XI during matches to provide minutes to everyone.
Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks, Joe Rodon, and Sergio Reguilon have not travelled with the squad as they are seeking a move out of London.
"I think that we spoke with the club and the players are informed about the plans for the next season. We are talking about really good players and the club and I, we think they deserve to play games regularly. For this reason, these players are not here," reasoned Conte.
It is Tottenham's last friendly before they kick off their Premier League season on August 6 against Southampton at home. Hence, there is a chance that fans might get to see the attacking trio of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Richarlison start the game. However, the Brazilian will not be available in the opening league fixture due to a suspension.

Roma squad and team newsRoma will miss the services of Ebrima Darboe after the midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament tear during the win over Portimonense and is set to be sidelined for at least six months. Apart from him, Mourinho has everyone available for selection.
Meanwhile, marquee signing Paula Dybala made his debut against Ascoli in the 1-0 defeat. However, it was not an official friendly and was played behind closed doors at the Trigoria training ground. Having warmed up, the Argentine might finally play his first official match against Tottenham.
It is understood that Mourinho used a 3-4-1-2 formation in the training match with the Serie B side and he might just stick with the same combination. If he does so, we could witness Tammy Abraham, Dybala along with Nicolo Zaniolo forming an attacking triumvirate.
