Davinson Sanchez was an unused substitute during Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
Tottenham fans have pleaded with Mauricio Pochettino to start defender Davinson Sanchez against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Spurs can book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with all three points, as they sit on seven points with Real while Borussia Dortmund and APOEL Nicosia have mustered up just one point after three outings.
The powerhouse defender, who is known for his explosive pace and strength in defence, was an unused substitute during Spurs’ 1-0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
He was replaced by Eric Dier, as Spurs fielded a three-man defence that also incorporated Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, but the trio could not stop Anthony Martial from scoring a late winner.
Sanchez has been in impressive form for the north Londoners since his move from Ajax in the summer, quickly gaining the applause of fans by helping Mauricio Pochettino’s side keep five clean sheets in his 10 league and cup encounters.
Tottenham fans took to Twitter in an attempt to persuade their manager to start the Colombia international against Zinedine Zidane’s Galacticos at Wembley, with one fan claiming that “consistency” comes in the form of the defender.
