Tottenham Hotspur vs Getafe – Match preview and team news

Tottenham team news

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi faces a heavily disrupted squad ahead of today’s friendly at Hotspur Way due to lingering injuries and post-World Cup workloads.

Midfielder James Maddison is completely sidelined after a recurrence of an old hip injury, leaving him in a race against time for the upcoming Premier League opener.

While Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus are progressing well from long-term knee and quadriceps issues, this fixture comes too soon for their match involvement.

On a positive note, Mateus Fernandes is expected to return to action against Getafe after resting for calf fatigue. Long-term absentees Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain ruled out with severe cruciate ligament injuries.

However, the squad receives a major boost as World Cup participants Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr, alongside new signing Marcos Senesi, have rejoined training and are fully available for selection.

Getafe team news

Getafe CF manager José Bordalás has been forced to adapt his tactical plans following a devastating, late pre-season blow to his midfield.

Christantus Uche suffered a catastrophic right-knee injury involving multiple ligament and meniscus tears from a reckless tackle against Monaco, ruling him out for the entire upcoming season as he awaits major surgery.

Despite this massive setback, Getafe’s squad is bolstered by several fully fit summer additions.

New signings Ramón Terrats, Saba Sazonov, and Zaid Romero are all expected to receive minutes today to build on-field cohesion before their domestic campaign kicks off.

Additionally, forward Martin Satriano enters this fixture in excellent physical condition and rich goalscoring form, having netted two pre-season goals already, and he is fully prepared to lead the Spanish side’s attack in this closed-doors encounter.

Form

Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur enters this fixture in excellent form under manager Roberto De Zerbi, remaining unbeaten throughout their summer pre-season campaign. The Lilywhites kicked off their preparations with consecutive shutouts, defeating Milton Keynes Dons 1–0 and Auckland FC 2–0. They followed that up with a 1–1 draw against Sydney FC, which they won 4–2 on penalties. Most recently, Spurs secured a high-profile 2–1 victory over Chelsea in Sydney, showcasing great resilience after a late winner from striker Richarlison.

Getafe

Getafe CF has experienced highly mixed results and form during their summer preparations under José Bordalás. The Spanish side opened their pre-season positively, securing a 1–0 win over Reading and a 2–1 victory against Tenerife. However, their momentum has completely stalled in recent weeks. They played out a physical 0–0 stalemate with Real Valladolid, followed by a heavy 4–1 defeat to Atlético Madrid, and most recently suffered a tough 1–0 loss against AS Monaco.

Predicted lineups

Tottenham Hotspur: Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Davies, Robertson; Bergvall, Tonali, Gallagher; Solomon, Tel, Richarlison

Getafe: Soria; Femenia, Abqar, Romero, Davinchi; Uche, Martin, Terrats; Lopez, Sotriano, Mayoral
