Mateus Fernandes’ mysterious absence from Tottenham training has been solved

Tottenham fans were worried Mateus Fernandes had suffered an injury after the 22-year-old was completely absent from the club’s recent training images and videos. Fernandes had an exceptional international break for Portugal’s U21 side , but it did not come as a surprise when he was left out of Tottenham’s starting eleven at Old Trafford.

Roberto De Zerbi prioritised starting players who were not away on international duty, with the likes of Marcos Senesi, Destiny Udogie, Mohammed Kudus and Dominic Solanke getting the nod.

Fernandes came on in the 89th minute in the game, but he has subsequently not been spotted in training, which has left Spurs fans alarmed.
