Inter and Tottenham lock horns in an early UEFA Champions League match that couldn't have arrived in a worse time for both. Inter Milan enters this game on a lousy streak, having won only one of their five most recent games. Meanwhile, Tottenham has lost two of their five competitive games, and their players are falling like dominoes due to several injuries.
The hosts will try to make their investment pay off as soon as possible, but coach Luciano Spalletti will have to work overtime for this one, as Sime Vrsaljko, Danilo D'Ambrosio and Lautaro Martinez are all doubts for this game due to injury.
Mauricio Pochettino faces the same issues as his Italian opponents, since four key members of his squad have been ruled out for this match. Captain Hugo Lloris, Dele Alli, and Moussa Sissoko were ruled out beforehand, while Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld were left out of the team at the last minute, crippling Spurs' defense and hurting their chances of success in the first fixture of the UEFA Champions League.
