Tottenham make late UEFA Super Cup final squad change vs PSG

Send Push

Tottenham face one of the toughest tests in world football on Wednesday night when they take on UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in Udine, Italy.

Spurs face off against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final - the annual clash between the Champions League winners and the Europa League winners.

Tottenham's victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao in May - their first European trophy for 41 years - gave them the honour of competing in this clash against last season's standout team in Europe.

Luis Enrique guided his young, talented PSG side to victory, sweeping aside Inter Milan in the final in the most one-sided Champions League final in history with a 5-0 scoreline.

Since then, the Parisiens made it to the Club World Cup final too, although they missed out on being crowned world champions as well as European champions by losing to Chelsea in the final.

New head coach Thomas Frank has a strong squad to choose from, with only long-term absentees James Maddison, Radu Dragusin and Dejan Kulusevski out injured, with Yves Bissouma left at home for disciplinary reasons.

Speaking on Tuesday, Frank said: "Dom [Solanke] is the positive one, he's available for selection tomorrow, so that's very good. Destiny [Udogie] is closer and getting closer to training with the group.

"So those are two big ones, and then Bissouma has not travelled with the team because of disciplinary reasons."

Frank made reference to Udogie, although was not exactly convincing in suggesting the Italian would play against PSG. And Spurs have made a change to their official squad lineup for the clash.

Udogie was initially part of the squad for the Super Cup final, but he has now been replaced in the squad list by young Croatian centre-back Luka Vuskovic, who was not initially named.

Even though Bissouma has been left at home, his name remains part of the squad, however.
