Alasdair Gold reveals why Pierluigi Gollini is not in the Spurs squad to face Burnley
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte named his squad to face Burnley a short while ago.
The Italian decided to keep faith with the same starting eleven which beat Manchester City 3-2 at the weekend, however, he did make changes to the bench.
Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold has taken to Twitter to reveal that at least one of those changes has been forced with substitute goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini missing out through illness and is understood not to be Covid-related. He has seen his place taken by academy graduate Brandon Austin.
Full-back Sergio Reguilon who recently contracted the virus is fit enough to be named alongside Austin as one of Conte’s options from the bench.

Hugo Lloris will be looking to have an error-free match tonight having made mistakes against Wolves and Manchester City in his last two outings, the absence of Gollini should not be an issue with the Italian having failed to challenge Lloris for the number one shirt.
