Quick Summary

The Spanish right-back is set to miss more time due to what De Zerbi believes may be another hamstring issue, though he hopes it isn't severe.

Story summary

Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Tottenham, addressed concerns over Pedro Porro's latest injury during a post-match interview. Porro, who recently won the World Cup with Spain, has seen limited playing time this season due to injuries and recovery from the tournament. On Saturday, Porro suffered another hamstring issue during a match against Aston Villa, leading De Zerbi to express hope that it is not severe but indicating he will likely miss more games.

Porro's last appearance was in back-to-back Premier League matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest before this latest setback. Tottenham have struggled this season, with the injury adding to their woes as they are currently in the relegation zone after a £300 million summer transfer spend failed to yield results so far. The club recently sold Djed Spence to Inter Milan, further thinning out their defensive options at right full-back.

🔮 Buoyed by only a second triumph at Chelsea in 36 years last weekend, Spurs’ task was made more routine by a 13th-minute red card for Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta for a studs-up tackle on Micky van de Ven. VAR intervened to assist referee Michael Oliver and it was largely one-way traffic after with Archie Gray able to open the scoring with a header after 25 minutes. Roberto De Zerbi’s team started the second half impressively and eventually doubled their lead with 17 minutes left through former Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke. It allowed De Zerbi to hand a league debut to Spurs’ teenager Luca Williams-Barnett on an enjoyable night for the north London club, but this latest defeat will increase the scrutiny on under-fire Palace boss Pierre Sage.
