Roberto De Zerbi will hold a press conference at 9:30am BST on Sunday to discuss Tottenham's upcoming match against Coventry. Despite a £300 million summer transfer spend, De Zerbi’s team showed improvement in their recent game against Manchester United but failed to secure a win due to lack of composure. The article notes that Swedish playmaker Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are injury concerns; while Kulusevski traveled with the squad for the match against United without playing, Porro continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Story summary

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi will hold a press conference at 9:30am BST on Sunday, October 16, due to an extended break for his team who are away in Marbella this weekend. The Spurs have not played this week and will host Frank Lampard’s newly-promoted Coventry on Monday night after a £300 million summer transfer spend that has yet to yield results. Despite the high spending, Tottenham showed significant improvement against Manchester United but lacked composure, failing to secure all three points. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are both fitness concerns; while Kulusevski was in the squad for the match at Old Trafford, he did not play, and Porro remains on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury sustained last month.
