Tottenham XI vs Fulham: Starting lineup, team news and injuries as Richarlison makes bench

Ange Postecoglou names his team for today’s Premier League game

Richarlison is back on the bench for Tottenham in today’s visit to Fulham.

January signing Radu Dragusin gets the nod to make his first start for Spurs as he deputises for the injured Micky van de Ven at Craven Cottage.

Van de Ven was substituted in last weekend’s 4-0 win at Aston Villa. Postecoglou remains upbeat about the Dutchman’s chances of making a speedy recovery, but the 22-year-old will not be available until after the international break.

Tottenham’s only other fitness concern was Richarlison, who has been out with a knee injury but he is on the bench alongside Timo Werner.

On Friday, Postecoglou said: “It’s a good opportunity for [Dragusin]. We signed him with a view [that] it was quite clear we were going to be short in that position.

“He’s had to be patient for his opportunity, but that’s not a surprise. Micky and [Cristian] Romero have been outstanding. I thought he was good when he came on the other day. He’s a pretty self-assured guy. I think he can bring something else to us as a team. He’s a very, very strong defender.”

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son

Subs: Austin, Royal, Davies, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Bentancur, Lo Celso, Werner, Richarlison
