Tottenham face Ajax this week.
Tottenham Hotspur host the first leg of their Champions League clash against Ajax this week.
Both teams overcame the odds to book their place in the semi-finals, with Fernando Llorente the hero for Spurs at The Etihad.
The Guardian report Llorente will ‘probably’ start on the bench as he did against City.
The report also claims Tottenham will have taken note of the notion Llorente’s aerial power being able to undo Ajax in the same way Cristiano Ronaldo had success against them in the quarter-finals.
That’s Llorente’s biggest strength, although his deciding goal against City went in off his elbow or hip, rather than his head.
He may fancy his chances up against Ajax’s Daley Blind too, who is a talented reader of the game, but vulnerable in the air.
Llorente was on the bench for Tottenham at the weekend, and could not turn the game when he came on.
Spurs remain without injured Harry Kane, while Vincent Janssen is ineligible, and Heung Min-Son is suspended.
If Tottenham do leave Llorente on the bench, it would be Lucas Moura who starts up front.
