Tottenham fans have struggled quite a lot this season with the right-back position, but as they prepare for their clash with Crvena Zvezda away in Serbia, it looks like Mauricio Pochettino has just one option for the role, seeing as Serge Aurier has been left at home and Kyle Walker-Peters wasn’t spotted in training.
Unless my eyes are failing me I can't see Harry Winks or Kyle Walker-Peters out there training. We know Serge Aurier has been left at home.

The fans have struggled with Aurier this season. The Ivorian defender has already been sent off this season, during a 2-1 win over Southampton at home, and has also given away a penalty, away at Anfield, so it’s fair to say he’s not having the best of times during the 2019/20 season.
However, Juan Foyth came off the bench against Everton on the weekend and is looking like the man who can fill the void at right-back. Tonight is a chance for him to have a go in the role from the start, and the news that he could be the man on the right of the club’s defence has certainly excited the supporters.
Who should be our right-back going forward?
Serge Aurier!
Kyle Walker-Peters!
Juan Foyth!
Moussa Sissoko!

No Aurier, no penalties

Hopefully Foyth at RB and starts with Lo Celso, plus Sessegnon at LB

The supporters, as you can see, love the idea of Foyth as their right-back, and hopefully the youngster can make the position his own.
