Pedro Porro will miss around a month with a hamstring injury sustained in Saturday’s 3–2 loss to Aston Villa, adding to Tottenham’s mounting problems at the bottom of the Premier League.
The full-back was substituted in the first half and has withdrawn from the Spain squad. He is expected to return against Chelsea away on 24 October, ruling him out of matches against Manchester United and Coventry City after the international break.
Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged the recurring issue: “Listen, Pedro, I said after the World Cup, I said the management of Pedro should be different, because after the World Cup, many games. I don’t know what the problem is. It’s a hamstring, I think. Hopefully, it’s not a big problem.”
On a brighter note, Kulusevski and Mudryk may accelerate their recovery during the break. Kulusevski could return against Manchester United on 10 October, whilst De Zerbi stressed the importance of careful management for the long-term absentee: “We have to manage Deki in the best way we can… when he is at top condition and over the injury, he will be like another new signing.”
