In a weird run of back-to-back fixtures, Spurs face the Bundesliga side again having beaten them 2-0 yesterday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This match is different, however, as it will take place behind closed doors at Hotspur Way rather than being played at the north Londoners’ home ground.
Roberto De Zerbi will be sure to shuffle his pack for this match, and minutes could be handed to those who have limited chance for preparation ahead of the new Premier League season.
Micky van de Ven, who penned a new contract keeping him in the capital for another five years, could feature, while Mohammed Kudus may get a first appearance under his belt since coming back from a thigh problem that has hampered him since January.
There could also be more minutes in the legs of Mateus Fernandes, the £85million arrival from West Ham, who Spurs fans are hoping will partner £100m man Sandro Tonali in the engine room.
This match will likely come too soon for returning World Cup winner Pedro Porro, who was given a rapturous ovation upon his comeback to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he showed off his winners’ medal to the Spurs supporters.
Naturally, some of the club’s young stars will also be given run outs as De Zerbi looks to maximise his players’ freshness ahead of their opening-day trip to Brentford next week.
