Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi faces several injury concerns ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Leeds United, although Lucas Bergvall and Tosin Adarabioyo could return.
Spurs secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the weekend, with Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke scoring.
De Zerbi also confirmed that Gray's half-time substitution was precautionary following a yellow card, rather than injury-related.
Bergvall and Tosin could return against Leeds
Bergvall has been sidelined since suffering a knee problem during Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
The Swedish midfielder was initially expected to miss approximately two weeks and could be available at Elland Road.
Tosin is also approaching a return after recovering from a calf injury.
Speaking to SPURSPLAY, De Zerbi suggested both players could feature against Leeds, although neither is guaranteed a starting place.
However, Mykhailo Mudryk remains unavailable.
The Chelsea loanee has made just one Tottenham appearance since arriving in the summer, having sustained an ankle injury during training.
De Zerbi expects Mudryk to return after November's international break.
Savio and Porro fitness updates
Brazilian winger Savio also remains sidelined after suffering a muscle injury against Manchester United.
Like Mudryk, he is expected to return after the international break, potentially against Ipswich Town on 21 November.
Pedro Porro, meanwhile, returned from a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace.
The Spanish defender replaced Gray at half-time after requesting not to start because he did not feel ready.
De Zerbi confirmed Gray's withdrawal was due to his first-half booking.
Long-term absentees remain unavailable
Wilson Odobert continues recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained against Newcastle in February.
De Zerbi believes the French winger could resume training in January, although a competitive return may take longer.
Xavi Simons is also recovering from an ACL injury and is not expected back until early 2027.
Tottenham injury return dates
- Lucas Bergvall: 7 November vs Leeds — possible.
- Tosin Adarabioyo: 7 November vs Leeds — possible.
- Mykhailo Mudryk: After international break — expected.
- Savio: 21 November vs Ipswich — possible.
- Wilson Odobert: January — potential training return.
- Xavi Simons: Early 2027 — estimated.
What's Next?
Tottenham visit Leeds on Saturday, 7 November, with kick-off at 12.30pm UK time.
De Zerbi will assess Bergvall and Tosin during the week, while Porro's workload may be managed carefully.
