Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has reported several injury setbacks affecting the squad during the early stages of the Premier League season.

Initially, Dejan Kulusevski experienced a “small, small problem” that hindered his return to training following a long-term kneecap injury. At the same time, James Maddison was expected to miss a match against Nottingham Forest due to a shoulder fracture.

By the following week, the club's injury situation expanded. While Maddison showed signs of returning to training and Mohammed Kudus was described as ‘almost ready’ after a quad tendon injury, other players remained sidelined. Mykhailo Mudryk was projected to miss four to eight weeks with an ankle injury, while Kulusevski, Xavi Simons, and Wilson Odobert continued their absences.
