Adarabioyo set for first Premier League start for Spurs
Tottenham defender Tosin Adarabioyo is expected to make his first Premier League start on Monday evening against Coventry City, having managed only five league minutes since joining from Chelsea.
Tosin Adarabioyo is expected to make his first Premier League start for Tottenham against Coventry City on Monday evening. Sami Mokbel reports that the defender is in line to be named in the starting XI for the fixture.
Adarabioyo has so far logged just five minutes of top-flight action since arriving from Chelsea, making only a late substitute appearance in the league. A place in the side tonight would therefore mark his full Premier League debut for Spurs and offer his first extended run in the competition for the club.
The reporting points to a selection call for this evening but does not specify the role he will take within the back line or whose spot he might assume. Confirmation is due with the official teamsheet released before kick-off.
For Adarabioyo, a start would move him from a brief cameo to a full outing at Premier League level for Tottenham, providing an immediate chance to build rhythm in competitive minutes. It would also give Spurs another look at their defensive options in a league setting.
No further details around any tactical adjustments or match-specific instructions are indicated in the report.
