Savio injury news: Latest on Tottenham Hotspur's new star who missed out vs Newcastle

After dazzling on his Spurs debut against Charlton Athletic in the League Cup on Wednesday, Savio did not feature against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Tottenham Hotspur's new Brazilian winger, Savio, will miss their upcoming home game against Newcastle United due to muscle fatigue, according to team officials. The 22-year-old dazzled on his debut against Charlton Athletic in the League Cup, scoring a goal and providing an assist in just 19 minutes. However, the medical staff deemed it too risky to take Savio into their squad for the match against Newcastle, who are Spurs' league rivals.

De Zerbi, the Tottenham manager, agreed with the medical team's decision, stating that Savio should be available for the next match against Nottingham Forest. Mohammed Kudus, who had been out with a quad injury since January, has returned to the team and is expected to play a significant role in the right wing position. Omar Marmoush, who joined Tottenham on loan from Manchester City, also made his debut for the club, impressing in the center forward position.

The Spurs bench appears stronger than it has been in the last two seasons, with players like Kudus, Dominic Solanke, Conor Gallagher, Mikey Moore, Lucas Bergvall, Destiny Udogie, Marcos Senesi, and Ben Davies contributing to their depth and versatility.
