Tottenham team vs Bournemouth confirmed - Dominic Solanke absent as Thomas Frank names XI

Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham team to take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs fans will get a glimpse of new signing Xavi Simons on Saturday although Thomas Frank cannot select the £52million player. The 22-year-old from RB Leipzig joined on Friday on a five-year contract with an option for another two. Simons signed after the deadline to register for the game against the Cherries and is awaiting his work permit. He will be unveiled in an appearance on the pitch for his new fans.

With the players he can select, Frank has named an unchanged team from the one that beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Dominic Solanke misses out on the squad though with Manor Solomon back on the bench for the first time in two years.

Destiny Udogie is back in training for a week now and is back on the bench because Djed Spence has done more than enough to keep his place at left-back and earned himself his first England call-up.

Here's the team Frank has selected to face the Cherries:

Vicario, Palhinha, Richarlison, Romero (c), Kudus, Johnson, Pedro Porro, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Van de Ven. Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Udogie, Gray, Bergvall, Solomon, Odobert, Davies.
