Roberto De Zerbi lists Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie as fitness doubts

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that fullbacks Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are doubtful for the team's upcoming Premier League match against Everton. Both players are experiencing muscle weakness, which the club is treating with caution following recent high-intensity schedules. Porro is coming off an extended summer that included a World Cup campaign, while Udogie is managing lingering effects from injuries sustained last year. The club’s medical staff, under the direction of Head of Performance Dan Lewindon, has implemented new training protocols that prioritize injury prevention and limited exposure to overexertion. As a result of these precautionary measures, Andy Robertson and Archie Gray are candidates to fill the defensive gaps if the starters are sidelined. Tottenham remains without Misha Murdryk for the match due to an existing injury.
