Tottenham Omit €35 Million Signing Mathys Tel From Champions League Squad

The 20-year-old’s omission reflects Thomas Frank’s preference for established options.

Overview

  • Spurs have not registered Tel in their 25-man Champions League list for the new campaign.
  • Tel has yet to start any of Tottenham’s first four competitive matches and has logged about 30 minutes across three substitute appearances, including a full match on the bench at Manchester City.
  • Tottenham made his move from Bayern permanent in the summer for a reported €35 million after an initial loan.
  • Also left out were Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai and James Maddison, while João Palhinha was included.
  • Frank’s squad has grown to 29 players, increasing competition for places and limiting Tel’s immediate opportunities.
