Apprehensive in a sense with the team (7)
I believe the answer is:
anxious
'apprehensive' is the definition.
('anxious' can be a synonym of 'apprehensive')
'a sense with the team' is the wordplay.
'sense' becomes 'nous' (nous is a kind of sense**).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'the team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'nous' placed around 'xi' is 'nxious'.
'a'+'nxious'='ANXIOUS'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for anxious that I've seen before include "Apprehensive, uneasy" , "Restless" , "Nervy" , "Fretful, worried" , "Worried, nervous" .)
