Ok, now I understand, thought it was a bit weird he wasn't being involved.
Cheers, mate.

Hopefully. I've been against it in the past but as VDV is playing so well from the middle he has to stay there imo so I'm hoping for Sandro + Parker in the middle with Luka on the right leaving Lennon as an impact sub.

Was injured but understood he had started training a week or so ago but has not played any matches that I am aware of, so chances of starting a Europa League match should be zero, and very unlikely even as a sub. I think BBC filling out the OS article with names from UEFA Europa League site where he is listed as a List B.

Steven Pienaar and William Gallas look set to start for the first time this season against Rubin Kazan on Thursday night.
The pair have been ruled out by injury so far in 2011-12 - Steven troubled by a groin problem, William has suffered calf strains - but both have made the trip to Russia for Matchday Four in the Europa League.
Giovani has not flown out with the squad after picking up a calf injury.
He joins Vedran Corluka (foot), Niko Kranjcar (thigh), Danny Rose (ankle), Tom Huddlestone (ankle) and Michael Dawson (Achilles) on the sidelines.
The squad is a mixture of experience and youth from the likes William and goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini to Second Year Academy trainees Jack Barthram and Kevin Stewart.
Heurelho Gomes, Seb Bassong, Jake Livermore, Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko, back in his home country, have all made the trip.
That's 10 players confirmed from OS.
Add from earlier post (mainly twitters)
Jake Nicholson, Dean Parrett, Andros Townsend, Alex Pritchard and Tom Carroll which makes a total of 15 players from the squad we think are confirmed.
Ryan Fredericks, Iago Falque, Harry Kane (and Kudos Oyenuga and Cameron Lancaster) did not appear in the Spurs X1 v Crystal Palace on Wednesday afternoon - Fredericks is still a good shout as the RB as despite being a winger he has played RB for Spurs X1 before and is a year older than Stewart and Barthram who are the other likely contenders who would be making their debuts if they appeared. Falque and Kane are the other two likely to be in the squad to bring up the 18 man squad (providing these 3 are not injured of course !).

Lineup based upon latest squad info – although I am pleased to say it has changed little since my first guess (main changes being Sandro/Pienaar, Dos Santos/Defoe and the loss of Rose to injury).
Subs : Gomes, (2 from Fredericks, Stewart or Barthram), Nicholson, Falque, Kane, Pritchard.
The biggest uncertainty is probably RB where I have listed the 3 most likely players with (imo) winger Fredericks marginally more likely to play than debutants Stewart or Barthram – but it’s a close call and the coaches have seen them more often than me.
Parrett is in the side to add cover for the RB (whether debutant Stewart or winger Fredericks) plus to give greater solidity to central midfield. He has shown good attacking skills for E u 19 and E u 20's as well - however the compromise means that the full backs need to support Spurs forwards.
I have tried several alternative lineups to get Townsend as left or right winger (where imo his fast attacking runs would screw up Rubin and be a game changer) but the overall team is less strong so I have left him at LB where he has been less effective in previous games (but hope he has got inspiration by watching videos of Bale ‘s LB performance away to Inter Milan lately !)
Cudicini
Fredeicks/Stewart/Barthram, Gallas, Bassong, Townsend

BTW, for those concerned about the Fulham game on Sunday these players will have had a full weeks rest amd as far as I am aware are fit.
Goal - Brad Freidal
Full backs - Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Kyle Walker
Central Defenders - Younes Kaboul, Ledley King
Midfield - Aaron Lennon, Gareth Bale, Scott Parker, Sandro, Luka Modric
Forwards - Rafael Van der Vaart, Emmanuel Adebayor
I suspect these players will form the starting X1, although one or two from the Kazan trip might also come in, with the subs mainly from the players making the trip to Kazan as rested as they can be after a midweek game.

the team i would play would be
Cudicini
Barthram, Gallas, Bassong, Stewart
Pienaar, Carroll, Livermore, Townsend
Barthram, Gallas, Bassong, Stewart
Pienaar, Carroll, Livermore, Townsend
Defoe, Pavlyuchenko
Cudicini hasnt had a game for a good while, so i would play him, as we are taking Gallas, Bassong, Defoe and Pav we have to realy play them, if we some how manage to win this easy then we can take them off for a rest though (cant see it happening though)

Is Sandro in the EL squad? If so why isn't he playing?
