Will Lankshear could start for Tottenham against Galatasaray after James Maddison praised him in training. Tottenham is preparing for their fourth UEFA Europa League match of the season, which will be played in Istanbul on 7 November. The team released a training video on 5 November, where Maddison was seen encouraging Lankshear before they headed out onto the pitch. He was heard saying, “Willie Lanks, there’s a man who’s scoring some goals in training today. There’s a man who’s scoring today, let’s go big boy.” This comment shows Maddison’s positive attitude and could also hint at Lankshear getting more playing time on Thursday. Maddison’s words reflected his strong presence in the dressing room, and they may also signal Lankshear being part of the starting lineup.
Tottenham has been in good form, especially after their 4-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, 3 November. However, that win came with a few injuries. Cristian Romero and Richarlison both had issues during the match, with Richarlison leaving the field in the 82nd minute after coming on as a substitute. While it is not clear how long the Brazilian forward will be out, Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou might still choose to play Dominic Solanke as a forward. Solanke has played the full 90 minutes in the last three games, and it might be time for him to get some rest. If that is the case, Lankshear could get a rare start for Tottenham in the Europa League match against Galatasaray.
Lankshear’s only appearance for Tottenham this season came on 3 October, when he played in their 2-1 win over Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Fans had hoped to see him more often, especially after he had a strong training session, but he remained an unused substitute during the match against AZ Alkmaar last week. However, this could change against Galatasaray, especially if he continues to impress in training. Maddison’s support of Lankshear could help boost his confidence, and it may mean he will get the opportunity to start in the upcoming match.
