He&#8217;s featured prominently for the London outfit under various managers, including both Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. The arrival of Postecoglou to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has changed that, as the Dane has yet to start in any of the Lilywhite&#8217;s eight PL matches thus far. The Australian manager has opted for a double pivot in midfield consisting of African duo Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma. However, in a moment of pure lunacy in his last outing, Bissouma was sent off and will miss the upcoming game on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/21\/tottenham-hotspur-injury-update-international-break\/\" target=\"_self\">Spur<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/21\/tottenham-hotspur-injury-update-international-break\/\" target=\"_self\">s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/21\/tottenham-hotspur-injury-update-international-break\/\" target=\"_self\"> In<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/21\/tottenham-hotspur-injury-update-international-break\/\" target=\"_self\">jury Wrap Up Post International Break<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While many Spurs supporters online are less than keen on Hojbjerg&#8217;s ability to fill in for the Mali international, however, Postecoglou was more optimistic. In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVNA27Oglhw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pre-match press conference<\/a>, he stated that he fully trusts the Danish international and touted him as an ideal replacement for Bissouma.<\/p>\n<h3>More Changes to the Starting 11?<\/h3>\n<p>With Hojbjerg in for Bissouma seemingly confirmed, what other changes, if any, can we expect to the starting 11?\u00a0 The former Celtic boss has opted for Guglielmo Vicario as his starting goalkeeper, along with Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in front of him in all league matches so far. Pedro Porro has been the main choice at right back, with the Spaniard favoured over Brazil&#8217;s Emerson Royal in the last seven matches.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/18\/best-xi-tottenham-hotspur-missed\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best 11 Players Tottenham Hotspur Missed Out On<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, it has been a double pivot of Sarr and Bissouma in the middle of the park with James Maddison taking up the creative midfield role.
