Lloris, Alli and Sanchez not in Tottenham squad for Leicester clash
Sponsored by
TOTTENHAM trio Hugo Lloris, Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez have not been named in the squad for the Leicester game.
Lloris, who played in the 2-2 Champions League draw at Olympiakos, has been granted time away to be with his wife, who has just given birth.
Alli and Sanchez also both played in that game - with the former coming off in the second half for Erik Lamela.
Four years ago Alli scored his first ever goal for Spurs away at Leicester - but he has been denied the opportunity to net again at the King Power Stadium.
The England midfielder has only just returned after a spell out injured but it is not known whether this is the reason for his omission.
Sanchez was played out of position at right-back against Olympiakos and unsurprisingly didn't have his best game.
ALL CHANGE FOR POCHETTINO
French international Serge Aurier returns to the starting XI for the visit to Leicester to take that position.
Harry Kane will captain Maurico Pochettino's side in the hope that they can get over their slow start to the season.
And the England star was seething after seeing his boys throw away a two-goal lead to the Greek side.
Kane, 26, said: “That's the hard part to get your head around because we're not young any more, we're not inexperienced. We've played in a big games for club and country.
"I can see why the manager is frustrated because he's been here for six years now and we're still making similar mistakes to the ones we were in his first year.

“We've got to find a way to get around it, improve and get better. That's all we can try to do.”
Pochettino ripped into his players after the 2-2 draw, accusing them of lacking fight and not following his game plan.
And the gaffer has responded with some interesting changes to the starting XI for their Prem clash in the Midlands.
