Tottenham are hopeful that they will have two defenders returning from injury for next Sunday’s league game against Fulham.
There is optimism that Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso can both be back available for the match at Craven Cottage, interim head coach Igor Tudor has revealed.
Tudor was speaking at his post-match press conference following Tottenham’s damaging 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal in the north London derby, which saw Spurs remain the only Premier League team not to have won in the league in 2026 and kept the 16th in the table.
They are just four points above the relegation zone, with Nottingham Forest and West Ham their closest rivals.
Danso has been out with an ankle injury and has not played since last month’s 2-0 Champions League win away to Eintracht Frankfurt. He has since seen a specialist but now appears close to a return.
Porro, meanwhile, has not played since the 2-2 draw at Burnley last month after suffering a hamstring injury.
Tudor was asked whether there could be players returning against Fulham.
The Croatian said: “Yeah, probably two of them. We hope. We're going to see now what is best for the team.”
Also reflecting on Kolo Muani’s positive performance on an otherwise disappointing evening, Tudor said: “He [had] a good game today.
“We wanted [to go] with Dom [Solanke] and Richie [Richarlison] to give some new energy. He's not [taken] out [because of his performance], because he played very good. It's a good start and I'm happy for him.”
