Udogie available as De Zerbi outlines Spurs injury returns

Destiny Udogie is available again for Tottenham's Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday at 5.30pm UK time. The full-back missed the last two matches, against Coventry City and Chelsea, after impressing against Manchester United on 10 October.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: "Destiny Udogie is available. Tosin is still out, Bergvall, Mudryk, but the others are all available." Asked whether Savio was back, he replied: "No, Savio is injured."

De Zerbi said Tosin Adarabioyo and Lucas Bergvall could be available before the international break, potentially for next Saturday’s match against Leeds United, though they may not start. Mykhailo Mudryk and Savio are expected back after the break.

Wilson Odobert, who has been out since February with an ACL injury, could return to training in January, after Christmas. De Zerbi said: "(He should be back in training) After December. After Christmas. In January, I think. It is a great thing for us."

Rodrigo Bentancur serves the final match of a three-game suspension. Longer-term absences Xavi Simons, Odobert and Mudryk also remain out. Tottenham are 14th in the Premier League with nine points from eight matches, while Palace sit 17th. De Zerbi also gave a positive update on James Maddison.
