Roberto De Zerbi will hope to have James Maddison fit and available when Tottenham host Crystal Palace this weekend.

The No10 was instrumental as Spurs secured their first win away at Chelsea in eight years last Saturday, but had to come off early in the second half with what appeared to be a groin injury.

De Zerbi downplayed fears that Maddison had suffered a significant injury at full-time, but it is not yet clear whether he will be able to play any part against Palace.

Destiny Udogie, meanwhile, has missed Spurs’ last two games with a knee injury picked up during the north Londoners’ 1-1 draw with Manchester United earlier this month.

Ahead of Spurs’ 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge last weekend, De Zerbi said Udogie was still feeling pain in his knee but could be fit to face Palace.

"Destiny still feels pain. Maybe next week he can be available,” he said.

Mykhailo Mudryk is also expected to be close to fitness, having been out since September 9 with an ankle injury sustained during training. The Ukrainian winger was expected to be out for between six to eight weeks.

Tosin Adarabioyo missed Spurs’ historic victory in west London through injury, but could also be available for selection here.

On Lucas Bergvall, who picked up a knee injury against Man United, De Zerbi said he would be out for around two weeks when he spoke to the media on October 18.

Absentee: Savio

That would put him in line for a return to action this weekend, but it is unclear whether the game against Palace will come too soon for the Swedish midfielder.

Savio is expected to miss out with a muscular issue, while Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain long-term absentees.

Rodrigo Bentancur will serve the final game of his three-game ban after he was sent off for a headbutt on Man United defender Luke Shaw.
