When is Roberto De Zerbi's press conference? Why Tottenham boss is not speaking on Friday
De Zerbi refuses to speak to his Tottenham players after Aston Villa defeat

Tottenham are set to host their pre-Coventry press conference on Sunday morning, after the team have returned from their warm-weather training camp in Marbella.

Roberto De Zerbi has taken his winless Spurs side to southern Spain this week in a bid to boost morale and build their physical conditioning after a difficult start to the season.

Despite rescuing a stoppage-time point away to Manchester United last weekend, Spurs remain in the Premier League relegation zone and without a win after six games this term.

A summer transfer spend in excess of £300million has yet to bare fruit for De Zerbi, but his team were much improved against United and would comfortably have come away from Old Trafford with all three points had they shown more composure in front of goal.

Spurs will be desperate to build on their performance against United and have been afforded an extended break to prepare for their game at home to Frank Lampard’s newly-promoted Coventry on Monday night.

With Tottenham away in Marbella and not playing this weekend, it means they will not hold their pre-Coventry press conference until 9:30am BST on Sunday morning.

The unusual timing means Spurs supporters will have to wait for updates on the fitness of Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro.

Kulusevski is closing in on a return to action after nearly a year-and-a-half out with a complicated kneecap injury.

The Swedish playmaker travelled with the rest of the Spurs squad to Old Trafford but was not included in the matchday squad.

Porro was also in the stands last weekend as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained against Aston Villa last month.

The World Cup winner went to Spain over the international break to see a specialist, but missed out on selection against United.
