Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi provided an injury update ahead of the Chelsea derby, stating that several players were recovering from issues. Andy Robertson, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Omar Marmoush went off during the Coventry City match with concerns, but De Zerbi confirmed none suffered serious issues. Marmoush was spotted back in training alongside Pedro Porro, who is set to return. De Zerbi mentioned that Pedro is back, Robertson is available, and Marmoush is good, according to football.london.

De Zerbi initially expressed uncertainty about James Maddison's availability for the Chelsea match, citing that Maddison didn't work with the team in the first three days after the Coventry City win. However, De Zerbi later confirmed that both Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are available to play against Chelsea, although their starting status is uncertain. Kulusevski had worked individually in the initial days of his return, according to the Spurs boss.

Tottenham still faces several injury concerns, with Mykhailo Mudryk, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, and Destiny Udogie sidelined. Savio and Lucas Bergvall remain unavailable, while Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended. De Zerbi will need to manage Maddison and Kulusevski's playing time carefully, as they have different qualities and have been out for an extended period. The return of Pedro Porro is a positive development for Tottenham ahead of the derby.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has provided an update on the fitness of his players ahead of this weekend’s clash with Chelsea. After securing their first win of the season in their last outing against Coventry City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs now turn their attention to the London derby against bitter rivals Chelsea. It will be a daunting challenge for Roberto De Zerbi and his side, who are aiming to secure their second victory of the season and their first consecutive win of the campaign. While Tottenham managed a 2-1 friendly win back in August when the two sides met in Australia for the first time in their history, Spurs’ record in competitive fixtures against Chelsea has been far less encouraging.
