Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Arsenal in a pre-season friendly match on Thursday, but not all of their first-team players are fit for involvement.

The club have confirmed their pre-season squad travelling to Hong Kong, and Destiny Udogie, Manor Solomon, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, and Bryan Gil have all missed out as they work on their injuries.

New signing Kota Takai is also unavailable for the same reason, whilst Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine, and Dane Scarlett have remained behind to pursue loan opportunities.

The rest of Spurs’ summer signings are all available, including Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, and Luka Vuskovic.

Of course, Tel and Danso have already played for Spurs plenty of times before during their loan spells last season, but both arrived too late in the 2024/25 campaign to face Arsenal.

It will be Thomas Frank’s first north London derby as Spurs manager, though he knows Arsenal well from his time with Brentford.
