Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham Hotspur's manager, provided an update on player fitness ahead of their upcoming match against Liverpool at Anfield. Mohammed Kudus, who recently returned from a serious quad injury that sidelined him for the second half of last season, is deemed fit to start despite being short of full-match readiness after playing 27 minutes off the bench in Tottenham's recent 0-0 draw with Everton. Conversely, James Maddison remains unfit for a starting role despite returning from a shoulder fracture in the same match against Everton. De Zerbi highlighted that the club’s medical team has been cautious with players like Solanke and Maddison, who both missed significant time due to injuries last season. The manager also emphasized his belief in Solanke's potential, predicting he could score up to 10-15 goals this season despite previous struggles with mental health issues related to fitness concerns.
