Jose Mourinho on LASK, Europa League, West Ham Draw & Team News

Tottenham start their Europa League group stage campaign on Thursday, with Austrian outfit LASK making the trip to north London.

It's the first time Spurs have featured in this stage of the competition since the 2015/16 season, though they did play in the knockout rounds the term after, being knocked out in the round of 32 by Belgian side Gent.

Ahead of Thursday night's game, manager Jose Mourinho gave his verdict to the press on the West Ham result, the Europa League and more.

Davinson Sanchez, who was part of the press conference, will play on Thursday, but Mourinho would not be drawn on whether new signings Carlos Vinicius or Gareth Bale would start.

He said: "Apart from Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga, we have everyone available apart from the players left out of the list."

He also made a quick quip on Sanchez's own goal against West Ham, describing it as 'amazing'.

Regarding Joe Rodon, who is ineligible for both the Europa League and the Carabao Cup, he added: "Fundamentally, let's see how he adapts to training, the different level, the different intensity. We got him because we see a future on him and a player who can be adapted to the way he wants to play."
