De Zerbi: Savio and Bergvall out, Kulusevski cleared

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi said Savio and Lucas Bergvall will miss Monday’s Premier League match against Coventry because of injuries, while Dejan Kulusevski has been cleared to join the squad and is expected to start on the bench. De Zerbi said Savio felt a muscular problem on Tuesday, before Tottenham travelled to Marbella for a training camp. The winger will be unavailable for “some weeks,” the manager said, without giving a precise recovery estimate. Bergvall felt pain in his knee during Tottenham’s match against Manchester United, De Zerbi said. The midfielder completed that game, then visited the club’s medical staff the following day. De Zerbi estimated Bergvall would be out for about two weeks. Kulusevski’s inclusion marks a step toward a return after more than 500 days outside Tottenham’s matchday squad. He has been sidelined with a serious knee injury since May 2025. De Zerbi said the medical staff had approved the Swedish midfielder’s selection and that he would be among the substitutes against Coventry. The announcement concerns squad availability; it does not establish whether Kulusevski will play. Right-back Pedro Porro will also miss the Coventry match....
