De Zerbi reveals Spurs boost and laments 'stupid' injury in new update

Mykhailo Mudryk could miss up to two months after an ankle injury, while James Maddison is back in contention after a shoulder fracture.

  • Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi confirmed on Friday that midfielder Maddison returns for Saturday's match against Everton, while new winger Mykhailo Mudryk faces a lengthy absence until October due to an ankle injury.
  • De Zerbi labeled the winger's injury "stupid," noting the difficulty of integrating a player who recently returned after a long suspension for an "adverse finding" of banned substance meldonium in 2024.
  • Maddison has been sidelined since the season opener against Brentford, where he suffered a fractured shoulder after missing most of last term with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
  • Tottenham remains winless and scoreless in the Premier League this season despite a lavish summer spending spree, with the squad facing Everton as they seek to avoid last year's near-relegation struggles.
  • Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus is nearing a return after being sidelined since January with a quad injury, offering De Zerbi additional options as the manager attempts to manage his depleted squad.
