24 y/o to make first start under Conte: Possible Tottenham starting line-up vs Rennes

As it stands, Tottenham round off their Europa Conference League group stage campaign against Rennes on Thursday night despite a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

Eight first-team players and five of Antonio Conte’s coaching staff have all tested positive, meaning the game in north London is currently in doubt.

Should the game go ahead, we’ve picked a team based on the players that trained at Hotspur Way today, minus Ryan Sessegnon, who’s suspended after his red card in Mura.

Pierluigi Gollini was one of those, and should get his customary European outing, whilst Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon are all available and should make up the back three.

There are just two other defenders available in Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty, who could start at left wing-back.

Harry Winks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are likely to be the midfield pair, meaning Steven Bergwijn and Giovani Lo Celso could join Harry Kane in attack.

Here’s our predicted XI to face Rennes – what’s yours? Let us know in the comments section below.

Starting XI: Gollini, Sanchez, Dier, Rodon, Tanganga, Hojbjerg, Winks, Doherty, Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Kane.
