Tottenham Hotspur kick off their new Premier League campaign on Sunday, with a visit to London rivals Brentford, but their talisman will be missing as the post-Harry Kane era begins.
Spurs start their first season under Ange Postecoglou against a home side still making do without their own star striker, Ivan Toney, and the visitors have several other absentees ahead of the big kickoff.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all the latest team news from both clubs.
