From the source

Tottenham Hotspur could have started Pedro Porro against Crystal Palace this weekend, but after the game, Roberto De Zerbi informed reporters that the Spanish right back had told him that he didn't feel ready to start yet.

So Spurs wisely held Porro out amidst continued fitness and injury issues following a grueling World Cup campaign with La Roja, though the world class fullback did come into the game in the second half and looked pretty sharp.

Archie Gray drew the start again for Spurs vs. Palace and was brilliant for the first half he played before being taken out owing to a yellow card and to Roberto De Zerbi wanting to give Porro some more minutes than the previous week off the bench against Chelsea.
