Tottenham star is available to start despite flying halfway around the world, De Zerbi reveals

Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that one senior Tottenham star is ready to start against Man United despite flying in from halfway around the world just two days ago.

The fixture after an international break is always tricky for managers, with many players reporting back with jet lag, fatigue and even some niggles. It is especially complicated this time around, given that the break was three weeks long and several players were in action for times for their countries.

15 Spurs players were away on international duty , with the last group returning only on Thursday, giving them just 48 hours to prepare for the clash at Old Trafford.
