Spurs team news vs Auckland
Heading into the friendly, Tottenham still have several injury concerns, with Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons and Dejan Kulusevski all out injured.
Spurs will also be without the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, Guglielmo Vicario, Djed Spence, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero and Marcos Senesi, all of whom were not included in the 35‑man squad.
Spence, Porro, Romero, Senesi, Bentancur and Sarr were handed extended breaks because of their World Cup involvement, while Vicario is reported to have picked up a minor injury.
Auckland, on the other hand, do not have any injuries to worry about.
Spurs vs Auckland prediction
Tottenham are still getting into a rhythm and are very rusty, as seen in their game against MK Dons, which they won just 1-0.
Another slow, rusty display could well be expected in this encounter as Spurs slowly build fitness and rhythm after only just returning to match action.
Regardless, the Lilywhites should have enough to secure a victory on Sunday morning, as they will also have the services of their returning World Cup stars.
Score prediction: Auckland 0-4 Tottenham.
