Tottenham travel to Manchester City on Saturday evening in the Premier League – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter have rallied together to ask for the inclusion of defender Joe Rodon.

Despite the fact they were top of the table earlier in the season, Spurs now find themselves eighth in the standings and 14 points adrift of current leaders Man City.

Jose Mourinho’s side have lost three of their last four league matches, plus they were beaten 5-4 after extra time in a midweek FA Cup fifth round defeat to Everton.

They do now have talisman Harry Kane back from a minor injury, but now have the daunting task of travelling to the Etihad Stadium to face a Man City side in stunning form.

A selection of Spurs supporters on social media have urged their manager Mourinho to recall Rodon to the starting XI.

Rodon, 23, has played nine senior games for the North London club since his summer arrival from Swansea City.

The Wales international is a strong, authoritative and aggressive centre-back, but his lack of experience can show at times.

He’s watched from the bench in the FA Cup defeat and the two previous league fixtures, but the centre-half position has been unclear all season and it looks like Mourinho is still searching for his best combination.

Here are some Spurs fans discussing Rodon ahead of the weekend:
