Tottenham Hotspur continue their pre-season schedule with a friendly against Spanish side Getafe on Saturday at the Spurs Training Centre.
Spurs arrive at this match in strong form under manager Roberto De Zerbi, remaining unbeaten through their summer warm-up fixtures. The Lilywhites began their preparations with back-to-back clean sheets, beating Milton Keynes Dons 1–0 and Auckland FC 2–0.
They then played out a 1–1 draw with Sydney FC, progressing 4–2 on penalties. Most recently, Tottenham recorded a notable 2–1 win over Chelsea in Sydney, demonstrating resilience after striker Richarlison netted a late winner.
Tottenham team news
Roberto De Zerbi will contend with a squad significantly affected by ongoing injuries and World Cup-related fatigue ahead of today’s friendly at Hotspur Way.
Midfielder James Maddison is sidelined completely after a flare-up of an old hip problem, leaving his availability for the Premier League opener uncertain.
Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus are making encouraging recoveries from lengthy knee and quadriceps injuries, but this match arrives too soon for them to feature.
On the upside, Mateus Fernandes should return to action against Getafe after a period of rest for calf tightness. Long-term absentees Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain out with serious cruciate ligament injuries.
The squad does, however, benefit from the return to training of World Cup players Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr, and new signing Marcos Senesi, all of whom are fully available for selection.
Tottenham predicted lineup
Possible Tottenham starting XI: Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Davies, Robertson; Bergvall, Tonali, Gallagher; Solomon, Tel, Richarlison
When will the match kick off?
