Overview
- Tottenham will travel to Leeds with Lucas Bergvall, Savio and Mykhailo Mudryk unavailable according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, though Savio has been seen training and his involvement remains uncertain.
- Centre‑back Tosin Adarabioyo is back in group work and Rodrigo Bentancur is available after serving a three‑match ban, giving De Zerbi more bench and rotation choices.
- Bergvall’s knee issue is now expected to keep him out beyond the two‑week November international break, removing a short‑term midfield option.
- Reports say Xavi Simons is entering the final phase of ACL rehab and could return to first‑team training this month, but the club’s timelines remain cautious and unconfirmed.
- De Zerbi’s conservative approach to reintroducing players aims to avoid setbacks and means Tottenham must rely on recovered squad members and substitutes to cover the period before full recoveries arrive.
