Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez scored for the club at the weekend for the first time.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez scored his first ever goal for the club at the weekend.
His effort gave Spurs the lead and set them on their way to a 3-1 win over Leicester.
Despite his contribution, Sanchez is at risk of being dropped for the midweek Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund.
This is because Mauricio Pochettino is likely to revert to his preferred defensive partnership of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.
Vertonghen and Alderweireld are a tried and tested duo at club and international level.
Alderweireld was rested at the weekend, suggesting manager Mauricio Pochettino is keeping him fresh for midweek.
When Spurs played Dortmund last season at Wembley, all three started.
Tottenham have since switched back to playing a back four, with only two central defenders, meaning one of Sanchez, Alderweireld and Vertonghen will miss out.
This time last year Alderweireld was the odd man out, with Pochettino dropping him for key games.
That remains a possibility heading into Wednesday’s game, but it is most likely that despite Sanchez’s efforts, the club’s record signing will have to settle for a place on the bench.
