Spurs in Spain: A day in the life of Maite Oroz - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The 28-year-old has recently returned to running on the grass as part of her rehabilitation from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury she suffered in October, 2025.

The Spain international has continued her hard work during our time in her homeland and we caught up with midfielder to see what she gets up to throughout a day on camp…

Wake up & breakfast – 8am-10am

“I woke up around 8am today as the breakfast report time was slightly later than usual, so that gave me the chance to stay in bed a little longer. Once I got up, I went to have breakfast at the report time of 9.15am but I always try to arrive a little earlier to get everything ready.

“Once I arrive, first I have two slices of bread with avocado and eggs, then some yoghurt with kiwi and mango and I always make sure to have a coffee without milk after that.”

Downtime – 10am-1pm

“Once I had finished with my breakfast, said good morning to all my team-mates and staff, I then headed back to my bedroom to chill more as we had a double session the day before and I was so tired, so I really tried to make use of the time off.

“So, I had a call with my family and watched some Netflix. I’m currently watching the new season of ‘My Life with the Walters’ as I really enjoyed the first two seasons and the third season has just come out this week, which I’m really enjoying so far."

Lunch – 1pm-2pm

“Ahead of our afternoon gym work and training session, we had lunch to make sure we were ready. I usually try to fill my plate with plenty of carbohydrates and then end the lunch with some fruit and yoghurt. It usually depends on how much I have to do in the session for the day so if I’m doing more running on the grass, I would have more carbs. Sophie and Olivia (the nutritionists) also send us what we should eat dependent on the training of the day. I then headed back to my room to get ready before the team meeting where we addressed the session for the day.”

Afternoon session – 2pm-5pm

“We all headed to the gym and I stayed there for the majority of the afternoon while the rest of the squad went out on pitch, so it was a slightly easier day for me compared to previous ones when I have been on the grass. The gym work is very important, especially after my injury, to regain that strength in my muscles and the staff usually prepare protein shakes.”

“I had to complete a HIIT circuit, which was still very tough, and once I had finished everything I needed to in the gym, I went back to my room to cool down and recover before our team-bonding event in the evening.”

Evening team-bonding event – 7pm-9pm

“For majority of the days we have been in Spain, we had dinner in one of the dining rooms in the hotel and they have been fantastic with a range of different cuisines. However, for this evening, we headed to a restaurant with the whole squad and staff group.

“We were separated into different tables, between staff and players, and I was with Siggy [Gaupset], Oli [Holdt], Ella [Morris], Heidi [Hills] and Toko [Koga]. It was really good and we had a great time, the food was a mixture of Italian and Mexican, and then we had the mariachi band provide some entertainment with songs in Spanish, which was really fun and I enjoyed it.

“I think the whole night was really important to build connections between all players and staff, spending time to get to know each other and have good conversations. After that was done, I headed back to my room to relax for the final hour and go to bed to get ready for another day of training.”

FPL | The new Spurs signings to add to your fantasy team - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The game, which is available to play on the Premier League website and app, is now available for you to log in and select your 15-man squad to compete in mini-leagues against your friends and family.

You can also play alongside fellow Spurs supporters in our Official Mini League, which can be entered by selecting us as your favourite club when signing up for a myPremier League account.

After what has been a busy summer for us, Scout have used their expertise to pick out some of the newest additions to the squad who could be excellent buys in FPL, in order to help you win your mini-leagues.

Marcos Senesi (£6.0m)

FPL introduced Defensive Contribution Points for the first time during the 2025/26 season, and Marcos was the king of defensive contributions across the defenders in the game.

The centre-back registered 418 defensive contributions from a mix of clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles, which resulted in him achieving 50 Defensive Contribution Points for his FPL managers. This was six more than the next best defender.

Marcos also returned 11 clean sheets, six assists and 14 bonus points for his owners on his way to 175 points for the season. Only two defenders in the game could better his tally.

Our new number five was introduced to supporters for the first time in our recent pre-season friendly against TSG Hoffenheim at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a whirlwind summer in which the defender who earned a recall to the Argentina National Team just after signing for us and played in his first World Cup as he helped his country to the World Cup Final.

Mateus Fernandes (£6.0m)

Across his 35 league starts last season, Mateus registered three goals, four assists and eight clean sheet points. The midfielder had 28 attempts on goal and created 37 chances for his teammates, which, in the Spurs side last season, was only bettered by Pedro Porro (£5.5m), who created 53 chances.

The Portuguese midfielder was responsible for 14% of the assists created by West Ham players last season (while on the pitch), which was only bettered by two of their players.

In total, he registered 135 FPL points last season, which was second among his former team-mates.

Mateus has already scored his first goal in Lilywhite, smashing in a spectacular volley in our 1-0 win in our pre-season opener against MK Dons.

Sandro Tonali (£5.5m)

Last season for Newcastle United, Sandro made 257 defensive contributions in his 35 league appearances, producing two assists and helping keep a clean sheet on eight occasions.

The midfielder from the Lombardia region of Italy and who netted from distance in our pre-season clash with Chelsea in Sydney, also created 32 chances for his former team-mates, which was only bettered by one other Newcastle player.

Our new number 16 also had 14 shots from set pieces last season, taking 14 free kicks while he also took 49 corners.

Jan Paul Van Hecke (£5.0m)

JP had an outstanding season last time out for Brighton. The defender, who was given his first Premier League start by Roberto De Zerbi in January, 2023, registered 148 FPL points during his final campaign on the south coast.

In total, he kept 10 clean sheets last season, scored three goals, registered three assists and returned 30 Defensive Contribution Points, while the Netherlands international also registered eight bonus points and produced two double-digit returns.

Finally, JP managed an impressive 23 shots on goal last season, with 18 coming from inside the box, four of which were classified as big chances.

Ahead of the Gameweek 1 deadline at 6.30pm (UK time) on Friday, 21 August, you can make unlimited changes to your team and can own a maximum of three players from each of the 20 Premier League clubs.

Let us know in the comments which of our six summer signings you have included in your fantasy team...

Andy Robertson talks us through his assist for Richarlison’s goal vs Hoffenheim

Andy Robertson talks us through his assist for Richarlison’s goal vs Hoffenheim - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

A great move, player gets to the byline and drills a cross into that ‘corridor of uncertainty’ between the goalkeeper and defensive line.

But how many times have we seen the ball evade everyone and fly ‘out the back gate’ and off for a throw?

That’s where you see the cleverness of Robbo’s assist for Richy’s goal to open the scoring in Saturday’s pre-season encounter against Hoffenheim.

Sandro Tonali made the initial break and rolled a pass into Robbo’s path. Immediately, Robbo spotted Richy’s position and instead of driving the cross into that corridor, cut his pass behind the line of defenders straight to Richy, who dispatched in style first-time with his left foot.

The cross made the goal as we went on to win 3-0 - Mikey Moore scoring twice - and we spoke to Robbo about what goes through his mind in that split-second before he delivers…

“I think it's just what you see in that moment,” he told us. “When the ball is on its way to you, you kind of look up, You kind of see what situation is going on there.

“So, I felt as the defenders were dropping a little bit, it was better to not flash it. I think the one before that, I tried to flash across the face of goal. Richy’s smart, as well, so when he sees the defenders drop, he then checks back a little bit.

“Sometimes, when everyone's dropping back, it's best to go against the movement. It's just really what you see and you can change it all the time. Sometimes you put it in the ‘corridor’, and sometimes you have to cut it back a little bit.”

It was put to Andy that it seemed a lot to process in such little time. “Yeah, in the split second, there's so many thoughts that go through your head. It's up to you to make the right decision. Luckily, I made it this time and, hopefully, I make the right decisions more often than not! It was great for Richy to score this time.”

Club extends partnership with Cadbury - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Since launching in 2020, the partnership has focused on shining a light on fans who have gone the extra mile in their support of the Club through the “Hotspur Heroes” series. The series has seen the Club and Cadbury offer rewards for our supporters, such as Lyn who has followed the Club for over 72 years (1,500 home games) and was recently surprised with a private training ground tour led by Club legend Ledley King.

Other campaigns including “Made to Share” have also included exclusive giveaways and experiences for supporters, including VIP matchdays at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The next chapter of the partnership will see a continued emphasis on celebrating our communities, including a focus on profiling fan stories around our women’s team.

Ryan Norys, Chief Revenue Officer at Tottenham Hotspur, said: “We’re thrilled to be extending our partnership with Cadbury, continuing to profile supporter stories and provide rewards through exclusive experiences. Since the partnership began, Cadbury and Spurs have shared a commitment to recognising those who dedicate so much to the Club, and we’re proud to continue working together to bring that shared purpose to life.”

Louise Page, Cadbury Partnerships & Owned Channel Lead, said: "Cadbury is dedicated to celebrating the people at the heart of Tottenham Hotspur - the fans and N17 community that makes the club so special. Over the last six years, we've loved shining a light on Hotspur Heroes like Lyn, whose 72 years of following this club deserved a moment to remember, while giving thousands of fans the chance to attend matches and have incredible once-in-a-lifetime Spurs experiences. As we proudly continue our support of the men's and women's teams, we're committed to creating even more memorable moments with the supporters who are the lifeblood of this club.”

Tottenham Hotspur Foundation becomes Spurs in the Community as it marks 20 years of standing alongside north Londoners

Tottenham Hotspur Foundation becomes Spurs in the Community as it marks 20 years of standing alongside north Londoners - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

For two decades, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation has stood alongside young people, families and communities across Haringey, Enfield, Barnet and Waltham Forest, helping people create opportunities, overcome challenges and build a stronger future.

Last year alone, more than 13,000 people took part in over 10,500 hours of programmes, generating £24.4 million in social value for the local area.

Now, as it marks 20 years of impact, the Club’s official charitable body is bringing its name closer to the people and places at the centre of its work.

While Tottenham Hotspur Foundation remains its registered charity name, Spurs in the Community becomes the organisation’s operating name, signalling a bold next chapter in its journey alongside north London.

Marc Leckie, Spurs in the Community chief executive, said: “At the heart of the new identity is a simple belief: To Care Is To Do. It’s a belief that care is more than words. It means showing up, listening, building trust and taking action.

“For 20 years, we’ve stood alongside north Londoners – and we’re proud of the difference we’ve made together. Spurs in the Community better reflects who we are, who we serve and where we belong, whilst building on the trusted Spurs name that’s underpinned our work for two decades.

“This is much more than a change of name. It’s a statement of intent for the next chapter: to keep listening to what matters to our communities, creating opportunities and turning care into action.”

From north London, for north London

Spurs in the Community is based at Percy House, just a stone’s throw from the north-west corner of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – a fitting home for an organisation rooted in the same community that helped give birth to the Club.

Tottenham Hotspur was founded by a group of local schoolboys, who took inspiration from Henry ‘Harry Hotspur’ Percy – whose family used Percy House as their London residence – when choosing the Club’s name and emblem.

That spirit of community remains at the heart of Spurs in the Community today. What began at grassroots in 2006 has grown into a leading community organisation, working alongside residents and partners to create lasting change across north London – and this is only the beginning.

Later this year, Spurs in the Community will unveil a new strategy setting out its ambitions for the next phase of its work, alongside an exciting fundraising event designed to help unlock even greater impact for local communities.

Its activities continue to be strengthened by the support of partners including the Premier League Foundation and Postcode Lottery, alongside a growing network of businesses and individuals who share its commitment to the area.

Registration for the Spurs Purpose Collective – a network offering exclusive events, brand opportunities and the chance to help shape and support the future of Spurs in the Community – is now open.
