Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to win four Premier League games in a row for the first time since October 2023 when they face Leeds United this weekend.
Savio could be available for selection ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's clash against Leeds United. The Lilywhites winger has missed each of the last three Premier League games due to injury, having suffered a muscle problem during the draw to Manchester United last month.
Following a brief spell on the sidelines, Savio appears to have finally returned to action at Hotspur Way. On Tuesday evening, the Brazil international uploaded a couple of pictures of himself in the dressing room at the training ground, surrounded by teammates who were lacing up their boots.
Unlike Mateus Fernandes, who was beside him, and Jan Paul van Hecke, who was in the background, Savio was not wearing boots, though. Instead, he wore unlaced running trainers, suggesting that he was either not involved in a first-team session or perhaps working individually outside on the grass.
The 22-year-old, whom the Lilywhites signed from Manchester City for an initial £75million, plus a further £10m in performance-based add-ons, just looked pleased to be back among the squad, brimming from ear to ear.

As it stands, it remains unclear exactly when Savio will be available for selection again, but he appears to have taken a step forward on his road to full recovery. Speaking to reporters last month, ahead of the win over Coventry City, Roberto De Zerbi provided an update on the winger.
"Savio, unfortunately, on Tuesday, before we left for Marbella, he felt a muscular problem, and we lost him for some weeks, unfortunately," said the Tottenham boss. "I don't know [how long he'll be sidelined], but some weeks for sure."
When asked for another update ahead of the victory against Crystal Palace, De Zerbi confirmed that Savio remains 'injured'. The Italian will be expected to shed light on the Brazilian's situation when he faces the press on Friday afternoon.
In the meantime, De Zerbi has just been pleased to translate performances into points on the Premier League table. Speaking to reporters at the weekend, he said: "I think even before the national break we were playing well.
"We were playing maybe not 90 minutes, but many parts of that game we played very well. We didn't score, we conceded a stupid goal, and then we lost energy, we lost spirit, we lost the right union between the players.
"If we compare Tottenham before the national break and Tottenham after the national break, now we are playing as a team. Before the national break, we were playing as many very good players, but not as a team."
Not keen to get carried away, though, De Zerbi added: "We can't forget, as I said to the players before the game and in the half-time, we can't forget where we have been two weeks ago.
"Two weeks ago, before the Coventry game, we were last on the table and we can't forget. I think this is the crucial part, the crucial aspect for this team.
"Then, playing with freedom, enjoying with the ball, attacking many players, no problem - but we can't forget where we were two weeks ago..."
