Tottenham Hotspur remains winless after three Premier League matches, struggling to generate offense while managing the returns of several injured players. James Maddison has returned to team training following a shoulder injury and is targeting a match against Everton on September 12, 2026. Dejan Kulusevski is also back on the training pitch, though a minor setback briefly interrupted his progress from a long-term patella injury. Roberto De Zerbi noted that the medical staff is optimistic about his recovery, though no return date is set. Meanwhile, Xavi Simons continues his recovery from an ACL tear and is not expected back until early 2027. Wilson Odobert remains sidelined with an ACL injury but is further along in his rehabilitation than Simons.
