Tottenham XI vs Crystal Palace: Heung-min Son injury latest, confirmed team news and predicted lineup | OneFootball

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will be weighing up a potential Premier League start for teenage sensation Mikey Moore

The big question for Ange Postecoglou is whether Mikey Moore is ready to fill the shoes of Tottenham captain Heung-min Son, who has not trained this week and is "unlikely" to return to the starting XI against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The same is also true for Richarlison, who returned to the lineup for the first time since late August against the Dutch side and scored the winner from the penalty spot, while Wilson Odobert made his comeback from injury as a late substitute and is unlikely to start at Selhurst Park.

That leaves Timo Werner, who was hooked at half-time against AZ Alkmaar but may be given another chance from the left wing, with Moore held in reserve.

The only other major decision for Postecoglou is whether to keep James Maddison in the XI after the half-time introduction of Pape Matar Sarr for the England international helped to transform last weekend's win over West Ham.

The rest of Postecoglou's team picks itself, although there has been little to choose between Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma in midfield this season. Bentancur started against AZ Alkmaar, likely meaning a return to the XI for the Malian on Sunday.

Tottenham hope that full-back Djed Spence will return to full training following a groin strain next week.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Werner, Solanke

Injured: Spence

Doubt: Son
