Roberto de Zerbi shared team news for the Tottenham contest against Coventry City.

·‘Savio felt a muscular problem’

The squad have been out in Marbella to partake in team training after their 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United. Unfortunately, a few problems have popped up for the head coach.

“Savio, unfortunately, on Tuesday, before we left for Marbella, he felt a he felt a muscular problem and we lost him for some weeks, unfortunately.

“Lucas Bergvall had a problem at the beginning of the game in Manchester, the first chance we created with Solanke, when he regained the ball, his knee… he felt pain. He finished the game, but the day after, (last) Sunday, he came to the training ground to our medical staff. I think two weeks.

"Pedro Porro, I think he's coming - maybe in Chelsea he can play."

·‘He suffered a lot and his reaction was great’

The biggest news, however, involves the proposed return of an attacker sidelined since March 2025.

Especially given the team’s troubles in the final third, the presence of Dejan Kulusevski on the pitch provides Spurs with another valuable option to test opposition defences and try to get more goals.

“DejanKulusevski on the bench. We had a meeting with the medical staff, they gave the okay and it's great news. It's one of the best news after Everton game last season, because Deki, he suffered too much. He deserves to feel emotion on the pitch.

“After the training, I spoke with him and I said to him, ‘Deki, look, I spoke with the medical staff, and they gave me the okay’ and he smiled like this. We are happy, we are very, very happy.

“It's not football. I'm not speaking about football. Okay, he's a special player, but we are speaking about different things. He suffered a lot and his reaction was great.”
