Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has ruled out Sávio, Lucas Bergvall and Mykhailo Mudryk for the trip to Leeds United on Saturday lunchtime. Tosin Adarabioyo has returned to training and is available for selection, while Rodrigo Bentancur comes back after serving a three-match ban. Xavi Simons continues his recovery from a long-term injury.
Spurs head to Elland Road seeking a fourth consecutive league victory before the international break. The club has won against Coventry City, Chelsea and Crystal Palace, though De Zerbi emphasizes the team's recent focus on unity rather than individual results. He credited a players-only meeting before the Manchester United match as a turning point that improved team cohesion and attitude.
Playmaker Xavi is progressing ahead of schedule in his recovery from anterior cruciate ligament damage sustained in April. The Netherlands international is expected to rejoin first-team training at the end of November, faster than the typical nine-month recovery timeline for ACL injuries.
