Roberto De Zerbi will hope to have vice-captain Pedro Porro available when Tottenham travel to face Chelsea this weekend.
The World Cup winner visited a specialist in Spain over the international break to aid his recovery, and De Zerbi said last Sunday that he was hopeful he would be available for selection against Chelsea.
“Pedro, I think he's coming. Maybe in Chelsea, he can play,” De Zerbi said at his pre-Coventry press conference.
Porro has since been pictured back in training in the build-up to the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Having decided not to risk Destiny Udogie against Coventry, De Zerbi will also be hoping to have his first-choice left-back available for selection against Chelsea.
Tottenham are mindful of overworking Udogie given his injury history, but he has had two weeks to recover from the knee issue he picked up against Manchester United and should be in contention.
Loanee Mykhailo Mudryk is expected back soon from an ankle injury, though he is ineligible anyway for Saturday’s game against parent club Chelsea.
De Zerbi, though, played down any fears that they had sustained significant blows and all three are expected to be fit and available, with Marmoush also pictured training at Hotspur Way on Thursday.
Lucas Bergvall (knee) and Savio (muscle) are still out, while long-term absentees Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons are progressing but still some way from a return to match action.
There were plenty of positives after Spurs’ 3-1 victory over Coventry, with James Maddison starting his first competitive game since May 2025 and Dejan Kulusevski making his first appearance in nearly 18 months off the bench.
Both are expected to be included in the matchday squad against Chelsea.
Rodrigo Bentancur, meanwhile, will serve the second game of his three-match ban after he was sent off against Manchester United for headbutting Luke Shaw.
