Tottenham predicted team vs Leicester City: Kane starts, Son returns in Postecoglou line-up
Ange Postecoglou will be looking to give his key players more minutes as Tottenham take on Leicester City in Bangkok on Sunday.
The Spurs boss admitted after the 3-2 defeat in Perth against West Ham that he would be stepping up the players' fitness levels with 60 minute stints for a number of them against Championship side Leicester in Thailand. The Foxes will have former Tottenham man Harry Winks among their midfield options.
Postecoglou did not seem to be concerned about people working out his team to face West Ham in the open training session the night before that match in Australia with the side that would play mostly involved in one team during a practice match.
That may well be the case with this game against Leicester because one side in the 11-vs-11 practice game inside the Rajamangala National Stadium in front of 6,000 Spurs fans did seem a strong one.
The team in orange in the main practice match was a 4-3-3 which contained the likes of Cristian Romero, Yves Bissouma, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, James Maddison, Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
They were taking on a team in bibs which included Whiteman; Royal, Tanganga, Dier, Reguilon; Sarr, Skipp, Lo Celso; Solomon, Richarlison and Perisic.
Inside the mind of Ange Postecoglou — Flat tyres with Ferenc Puskas, rejection and making a mark
Every other player not in the 11 vs 11 match, barring the injured Dane Scarlett, took part in another small-sided game, including Tanguy Ndombele back fit after his ankle knock.
Here is that team in orange which, barring any late knocks or selection decisions, could be the one Postecoglou chooses:
(4-3-3) Vicario; Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Maddison; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
