Tottenham eye four in a row at Leeds with injury boost for De Zerbi
Tottenham head to Elland Road on Saturday aiming to make it four Premier League wins in a row, and the build-up has been dominated by team news and selection talk ahead of the Leeds United clash.
Football.London reports that Roberto De Zerbi has received a huge injury boost with an £85m star available again (Football.London), while a separate Football.London piece says two players "look set to return to the matchday squad this weekend", though De Zerbi still faces something of a midfield headache in terms of selection (Football.London). Sports Mole has rounded up the wider injury and suspension picture, with the fitness of Savio, Lucas Bergvall and Mykhaylo Mudryk all under the microscope as Spurs prepare for the trip to Yorkshire (Sports Mole).
On the training ground, Football.London spotted "five things" of note, noting a hint dropped by De Zerbi as well as six players missing from the session (Football.London). That lines up with the broader theme from Spurs Web, who say James Maddison is poised to return to the starting XI in their predicted line-up for Elland Road (Spurs Web), while a separate Spurs Web piece sets out the XI they want to see, with Solanke named among the substitutes (Spurs Web).
Spurs Web also poses five questions De Zerbi must answer before kick-off, underlining that this will be anything but a straightforward trip given it's a first look at how the squad reshapes with players returning (Spurs Web). There's broad agreement across the outlets that De Zerbi's selection headache is a good one to have, with fresh bodies available after a spell of fitness concerns, even if exactly who starts in midfield and attack remains up for debate.
The common thread running through all of this coverage is opportunity: Tottenham are being tipped to extend their winning run to four matches for the first time in a couple of years, and the squad depth returning gives De Zerbi plenty of options to rotate or strengthen his XI at Elland Road. Fans will be watching team news closely as kick-off approaches to see exactly who makes the final cut.
