Overview
- Roberto De Zerbi confirmed on Sunday that Dejan Kulusevski has been medically cleared and will be on the bench for Monday’s Tottenham game, ending a spell out of more than 500 days after a complex patella injury.
- Savio suffered a muscular problem before the squad flew to Marbella and has been ruled out for several weeks, a setback that reduces Spurs’ attacking options.
- Lucas Bergvall picked up a knee issue during the draw with Manchester United and is expected to miss about two weeks while he recovers under club medical supervision.
- Pedro Porro is not fit for the Coventry match but could be available for the trip to Chelsea next weekend, and Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended for Monday’s fixture.
- Tottenham remain hampered by multiple long-term absentees and sit bottom of the Premier League after six games, so De Zerbi is likely to reintegrate Kulusevski cautiously and manage minutes to protect his recovery and squad balance.
