Tottenham XI vs Leicester: Porro enters

Tottenham hand Pedro Porro his debut away to face Leicester this afternoon.

The full-back makes his first appearance since arriving from Sporting, replacing Emerson Royal, who was superb last time out against Manchester City.

Spurs captain Hugo Lloris is out for at least five weeks with a knee injury and back-up goalkeeper Fraser Forster deputizes for him against Leicester as he begins a run in the team.

Tottenham are also without Cristian Romero, who is suspended following his red card against Manchester City last weekend, with Japhet Tanganga coming into the squad to replace him.

Yves Bissouma underwent surgery on a fractured ankle and is set for a spell on the sidelines.

Harry Kane became Tottenham’s top scorer last weekend and has 18 goals in 15 Premier League games against Leicester, making it the team he has scored against the most in his career. He leads the team this afternoon.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is back on the touchline after missing the game against Manchester City after having his gall bladder removed.

The Italian returned to Hotspur Way on Thursday and traveled with the team.

Starting with XI: Forster, Tanganga, Dier, Davies, Porro, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Substitutions: Skipp, Sanchez, Richarlison, Emerson, Danjuma, Moura, Sarr, Lenglet, Austin
