Tottenham take on Barcelona this evening.

Enfield, December 07. 2018

Tottenham Hotspur have taken youngsters with them to Barcelona for the must win Champions League game.

Football London report three under-23 regulars took part in the first team training session upon arrival in Spain.

These were Oliver Skipp, Troy Parrott and George Marsh.

Skipp made his Premier League debut off the bench last week against Southampton, and Parrott travelled to Leicester at the weekend with the first team.

Marsh’s call-up is the most notable of the trio.

If he played in any capacity against Barcelona, it would be the 20-year-old’s debut.

Marsh has captained Tottenham’s under-23 side this season, making 11 appearances.

His invitation to train with the first team squad is recognition of his positive progress.

Marsh plays in a position in defensive midfield where Tottenham are currently light, and is getting his opportunity with Luke Amos out with a season ending injury.

His versatility has seen him play this season for the under-23s at centre-back and right-back.
