Italian League News: Sandro Tonali, star of the Italian national team, was the main highlight in Tottenham’s match against Newcastle United in North London. This match was made even more interesting by the presence of the Italian national team coach, Roberto Mancini, who also watched Tonali’s performance from the stands.
The 26-year-old midfielder started the match against his old club, Newcastle, as part of Tottenham’s starting XI in the second week of the Premier League this season. The match which will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is scheduled to kick-off at 18:30 CET or 17:30 BST.
Previously, Tonali was listed as Italy’s most expensive footballer after joining Tottenham this summer in a deal exceeding €108 million. However, his debut in the Premier League with Spurs ended in disappointment after his team suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brentford away from home.
Apart from Tonali, another Italian player, Destiny Udogie, started the match against Newcastle from the bench. This match is important for Mancini, who is monitoring the performance of his players ahead of the announcement of the Azzurri squad for the September international break. Mancini is planned to spend the weekend in England, and will also attend Leeds’ match against Brentford and Aston Villa’s match against Arsenal.
Here are the confirmed line-ups for the Tottenham vs Newcastle match:
Tottenham: Kinsky, Porro, van de Ven, van Hecke, Robertson, Gray, Bentancur, Tonali, Fernandes, Marmoush, Tel.
Newcastle: Hornicek, Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Gonzalez, Miley, Elanga, Willock, Barnes, Wissa.
