Tottenham Lunchtime Round-Up, Wednesday 4th November 2026: Spurs' Midfield Revival and Injury Boost Ahead of Leeds Clash

Good news on the fitness front ahead of the weekend's trip to face Leeds United, with Football.London reporting that Roberto De Zerbi is set to welcome back an £85m star as an injury boost for Spurs (Football.London). A separate report adds that two players altogether look set to return to the matchday squad, even if that brings its own midfield selection headache for De Zerbi (Football.London). Spurs go into the game aiming for four Premier League wins in a row for the first time since October 2023 (Football.London).

There's plenty of positive data doing the rounds too, with Spurs Web highlighting figures showing Tottenham's midfield has rocketed from 17th to fourth-best in the Premier League following their big summer outlay in that area (Spurs Web). The individual performances are being noticed as well, with two Tottenham players named in Alan Shearer's Team of the Week after an impressive display against Crystal Palace (Spurs Web), while another Spurs star has picked up a Premier League Player of the Week nomination for the third week running (Spurs Web).

On the international scene, Mathys Tel has been rewarded for his strong recent club form and his performances for France's U21s, earning a call-up to the senior squad after setting a record at U21 level (Spurs Web).

Finally, a nice compliment for one of Tottenham's summer arrivals, with Luca Williams-Barnett naming the Spurs signing as the toughest opponent he's faced (Spurs Web).
