da cassino: Tottenham Hotspur face Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week in a dead rubber.
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Harry Kane will not play in the game and there are a number of youngsters who could be selected by the Portuguese against the German giants.
There is one obvious beneficiary and Football FanCast has put together a list of the young players who could break out in Germany.
Troy Parrott
This one is clear.
Parrott made his Premier League debut against Burnley at the weekend, coming on as a substitute as Spurs won 5-0.
Mourinho handed him the match ball after the game, commemorating his league bow.
A prolific presence in the youth teams, Parrott is currently the top scorer in the UEFA Youth League with six goals to his name.
It remains to be seen if he can translate that to senior European football but he is likely to be given the chance; a goal could see him climb the ranks significantly at the club.
Money talks: How much did Levy pay for each of these Spurs stars?
Kyle Walker-Peters
Not really a youth prospect anymore, Walker-Peters is 22 and has been around the first-team for some time.
However, he was not really trusted by previous manager Mauricio Pochettino, making just 23 senior appearances, and has yet to play under Mourinho.
Nevertheless, he could be given a chance against Bayern, with Serge Aurier, who has played in every game under the Portuguese, surely due a rest.
A solid performance could raise his stock in the eyes of the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss; he rarely gets a chance, so he must seize this one.
Oliver Skipp
Another player who has been around the first-team, Skipp actually made his Champions League debut earlier this season, coming on as a substitute against Olympiacos.
He has played just 10 minutes under Mourinho, though, coming on as a substitute against Burnley, and this is a chance for him to stamp his authority on the central midfield position.
At the age of 19, one feels that he needs to be playing football regularly and he can put himself in the shop window with a fine display in Bavaria.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho has unlocked one Spurs man’s consistency.
