The team's late (6)
I believe the answer is:
eleven
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'the team's' is the first definition.
(eleven is a kind of team)
'late' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Number, on a team maybe" , "Players" , "Enough for a soccer side" , "'Legs' bingo number" , "Number killed in the Peterloo massacre" .)
