Tottenham XI vs Shakhtar: Kane in - Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for friendly today

Marc Mayo6 August 2023

Harry Kane starts for Tottenham in their penultimate pre-season friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk today.

With only two friendlies under their belt under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs may have some catching-up to do in terms of building up match sharpness.

Shakhtar head to north London this weekend for a friendly which will raise funds for the victims of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, before Tottenham fly to Barcelona for the Joan Gamper Trophy match just 48 hours later.

Postecoglou’s pre-game briefing to the media was cancelled, meaning no update was provided in terms of Spurs’ injuries and fitness.

Yves Bissouma limped out of his warm-down after the win over Lion City Sailors in Singapore, a scene which his manager played down afterwards.

Starting Tottenham XI: Vicario; Royal, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Hojbjerg, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Kane

Subs: Austin, Gunter, Porro, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Skipp, Bissouma, Lo Celso, Perisic, Solomon, Scarlett

Injuries: Gil, Bentancur, Sessegnon

Date and time: 2pm BST, Sunday August 6 2023

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
