Juan Foyth replaces Mousa Dembele in Tottenham’s Champions League squad to face Dortmund

Foyth’s addition means Spurs will have another option at the back. Mauricio Pochettino called it a “mistake we made that at this level of football we cannot repeat again” when he left Juan Foyth out of Spurs’ Champions League squad for the group stage.
