Yves Bissouma is on the bench for Tottenham against Brentford, as Wilson Odobert misses out.
Teenager Odobert joined for £25milllion from Burnley last month, but after plenty of game time early on in his Spurs career, lasted just 18 minutes of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win at Coventry after picking up a hamstring injury.

Bissouma has not played for Spurs since picking up an injury with Mali during the recent international break but is among the substitutes, as is Werner despite being forced off late against Coventry with a knock.
“Wilson, it doesn’t look good,” said Postecoglou at his pre-Brentford press conference on Friday. “It’s his hamstring. We’re still waiting for it to settle down with all the information, but he’ll definitely be out for the next period.
“Bissouma trained today so should be available for tomorrow. Timo recovered okay.”
Brennan Johnson starts on the right, with Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison once again named in an attacking side.
The Tottenham head coach also gave a more pessimistic update on Brazilian forward Richarlison, who has a calf injury.
The Australian said: “He’s a fair way off. I think you should stop asking me about him until I say I’ve got an update. He’s still not training with the first team.”
Starting XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Son
Subs: Forster, Spence, Dragusin, Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall, Moore, Werner
