Why Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Kota Takai are not in Tottenham’s team at Luton

Dominic Solanke has missed out on Tottenham’s pre-season friendly team to face Luton Town on Saturday afternoon as a precautionary measure with a minor ankle injury.

Thomas Frank has named his second starting XI of the day following a 2-2 draw at Hotspur Way against another League One side in Wycombe Wanderers. Pape Matar Sarr scored both of the goals for the home side during the morning kick-off at the Enfield training complex.

The team for that match was Brandon Austin, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic, Ben Davies, George Abbott, Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and skipper Son Heung-min, with a bench full of youngsters. Rodrigo Bentancur was in the original line-up only to miss out through illness, meaning George Abbott came into the team at late notice.

For the second game at Kenilworth there are some notable absentees as Solanke misses out with that ankle injury and the game has come too soon for James Maddison after his return to full training this week. Kota Takai has not yet recovered from the knock that kept him out of the match at Reading last weekend.

Josh Keeley starts for Luton after his £1million move from Tottenham last week.

Here is the Spurs team and substitutes bench for the game against the Hatters:

Vicario, Spence, Danso, van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Gray, Moore, Kudus, Johnson, Tel. Subs: Kinsky, Gunter, Scarlett, Donley, Yang, Lankshear, Devine, Kyerematen, Byfield, Rowswell, Russell-Denny, Olusesi.
