Spurs suffer double injury blow ahead of Coventry clash with forward out for ‘some weeks’

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a double injury setback ahead of their upcoming match against Coventry City. Forward Savio and midfielder Lucas Bergvall will miss the game for several weeks after both suffered injuries during training. Savio picked up a muscle injury before the team's training camp in Marbella, while Bergvall injured his knee during Tottenham's match against Manchester United.

Dejan Kulusevski, however, is expected to return to the squad after being cleared by the medical staff. The Croatian defender has been sidelined for around a year-and-a-half and is set to take the bench for the Coventry clash. Manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed relief at Kulusevski's positive prognosis, calling it one of the best pieces of news since the team's loss to Everton last season.

Additionally, De Zerbi confirmed that Pedro Porro is nearing a return, potentially making his debut in the match against Chelsea.
