Tottenham Hotspur face injury doubts over Porro and Udogie

Tottenham Hotspur head coach De Zerbi has issued an injury update regarding full-backs Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie ahead of the upcoming match against Everton. Decisions on their availability will be made on the day of the game to prioritize long-term risk management.

De Zerbi noted that Porro is dealing with a small muscular issue, while Udogie requires careful management following a history of injuries last season. The coach emphasized a cautious approach, stating, “I don’t want to take any risks,” particularly given the physical demands placed on the players.

In addition to the uncertainty surrounding the full-backs, the squad faces several absences, including Mykhailo Mudryk, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, and Xavi Simons. However, James Maddison has returned to selection options following a shoulder issue.
