Antonin Kinsky will start for Tottenham against Doncaster in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Guglielmo Vicario has been in goal for all of Spurs’ matches under Thomas Frank and has kept four clean sheets in six matches.
Kinsky has barely featured since having a run in the side after arriving in January, but Frank confirmed the 22-year-old will be one of the changes as he rotates his Spurs side.
“Antonin will start tomorrow, so I'm very happy with him as a goalkeeper,” Frank said at his pre-match press conference.
“I think he's a very good goalkeeper and I think he's got very good potential. For any player that is not starting, they're not happy. Some probably understand it a bit more, or outfielder sometimes.
“The easy thing for Antonin was to stay at his former club and now it's a bigger stage, a bigger challenge. I think he's got a great future here at Tottenham. I like what I see from him. He just needs to keep training well and doing well.”

Kevin Danso is also likely to come into the side. Archie Gray will hope to play in midfield, but could get the nod at centre-back with Ben Davies and Kota Takai still out injured.
Lucas Bergvall is expected to drop out, having started three games in a week, and Mohammed Kudus should also be rested.
With Dominic Solanke out with an ankle issue and Randal Kolo Muani yet to recover from a dead line, Mathys Tel is in line to start up front as he looks to kick his Spurs career into gear.
Jun’ai Byfield and Luca Williams-Barnett are among the academy stars who could make the squad.
“I think it would be a great opportunity to have some of the younger players on the bench and I always think it's a privileged position to be in if you can give anyone a debut, especially a young player,” Frank said.
“That's always special and a big moment, so definitely I'm open for that.”
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Spence, Romero, Danso, Udogie; Gray, Sarr; Johnson, Simons, Odobert; Tel
Injured: Davies, Takai, Dragusin, Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke, Kolo Muani
