Georgios Galitsios on trial

A new name in the squad for the Spurs XI friendly against Bishop's Stortford tonight. Georgios Galitsios of AE Larisa in Greece is on trial at the club with a view to a permanent transfer. From the information I've managed to find, Galitsios is a rightback, not a position where Spurs are particularly well stocked, so this makes sense.

Georgios Galitsios
Club: AE Larisas
DOB: 06.07.1986
Age: 20
Height: 1.83m

Comments: "I really like him. He is only 19 and he’s one of the best right wingbacks of the championship. Yes I know we don’t have any good right wingbacks, but he is very young and he has amazed me in a lot of games. Obviously he needs work, he had his pants creamed in the game against Olympiakos, but still I think he is one of the players that have a lot of potential. Good cross by the way for a kid." [Greek football forum, best young players thread]

Squad for Bishop's Stortford:
Fulop, Forecast, Ifil, Lee, Davenport, Ziegler, Riley, Lennon, Galitsios, Jenas, Murphy, Daniels, McKenna, O’Hara, Maghoma, Dawkins, Barnard, Barcham.

Notable returns for England World Cup squad members Lennon and Jenas. The Official site reports that Carrick misses out along with Robinson, Zokora and Lee who returned to training on Monday, despite previously reporting that Carrick had returned to training with Lennon and Jenas last Friday.
