Here’s the Tottenham squad Roberto De Zerbi could pick for Saturday’s Premier League clash at Manchester United.
Tottenham return from the international break looking to climb out of the Premier League basement when they visit Manchester United.
Spurs have had a number of players who have logged plenty of minutes on international duty over the last three weeks, while a group of first-team stars working out the Hotspur Way, including Dominic Solanke, Savio, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Destiny Udogie, Marcos Senesi, Conor Gallagher and Tosin Adarabios, fitness training with Robert and Tacticbio. pitches.
Although Maddison missed some training last week and this week through injury, it will put some of them in contention to start at Old Trafford. De Zerbi has strongly suggested that Conor Gallagher could start as a number 10 on Saturday, with Mateus Fernandes still finding his feet at the club.
De Zerbi confirmed that Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are not yet ready to return but will travel to Manchester to be in the squad. Mykhailo Mudryk is far from a return after injuring his ankle in training last month.

The Tottenham manager said that captain Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke are fit for the Dutch national team despite hand and toe injuries respectively, while Rodrigo Bentancourt has made several trips to Uruguay during the break and Andy Robertson has played plenty of minutes for Scotland and Van de Ven for the Dutch.
De Zerbi has said he is considering releasing Premier League “special” Luca Williams-Barnett so the 18-year-old can find himself in the match-day squad either on Saturday or for the next game against Coventry. The teenager scored a couple of goals for England Under-19s, while Matys Tel scored five times for France Under-21s at half-time and Omar Marmus twice for Egypt.
Here’s the Tottenham team we think De Zerbi will pick, with plenty of options in different positions:
(4-2-3-1) Kinski; Gray, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Tonali; Savio, Gallagher, Marmoush; Solanke.
