Davinson Sanchez looks set to be given a start for Tottenham Hotspur against Barcelona.

Tottenham Hotspur will require a huge performance from Davinson Sanchez against Barcelona tomorrow.

Sanchez impressed in his first season at Spurs, but has found his first-team chances more limited this time around.

With Toby Alderweireld re-integrated into the squad, Sanchez has often been sat on the bench.

However, Jan Vertonghen is now out injured, and that means that Sanchez has come straight back into Mauricio Pochettino’s line-up.

The Colombian will almost certainly start tomorrow against Barcelona, and it could be his biggest test in a Tottenham shirt to date.

Spurs will be required to defend well if they are to get anything out of the match, but Sanchez should view the match as an opportunity rather than a challenge to be fearful of.

If Sanchez can impress then he can give Pochettino a real selection headache over who to pick in central defence when Vertonghen does return to full fitness.

And Spurs will be requiring Sanchez to put in a big display, if they want to pick up the three points against the Spanish giants.
