Tonali named in Tottenham predicted XI and ranked by Transfermarkt

Football London published a predicted Tottenham Hotspur lineup for the club's pre-season friendly against Sydney FC that included Sandro Tonali in the starting eleven. The outlet presented that formation as its projected XI rather than an official team sheet from the club, indicating expectations about squad selection ahead of the match.

ESPN reported that Tottenham required a penalty shootout to beat Sydney FC in the same pre-season friendly. The report describes the match outcome but does not confirm which players started or completed the fixture for Tottenham.

Predicted lineup and match outcome

The Football London projection places Tonali among the players expected to start for Tottenham in the Sydney fixture. Separately, ESPN’s match coverage records Tottenham’s victory via penalties, confirming the result of the friendly but not linking Tonali directly to minutes played or match events.

Transfermarkt listing and an outstanding question

Transfermarkt included Sandro Tonali among the top 40 most expensive transfers of the summer, listing him on its season transfer-value compilation. That placement notes Tonali’s market profile for the window.

What remains unconfirmed is whether Tonali actually started or took part in the match against Sydney FC; available sources establish only a predicted starting XI and the match result. Further official team sheets or match reports would be needed to verify Tonali’s on-field involvement in the friendly.
