Tottenham Updates Injury Statuses of Porro Simons and Kulusevski

Tottenham are monitoring several injured players after moving off the bottom of the Premier League table with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United, with Pedro Porro, Xavi Simons and Dejan Kulusevski among those awaiting returns.

Stand-in captain Dominic Solanke scored a late equaliser at Old Trafford, while Micky van de Ven was benched after international duty and a finger injury, according to the Standard.

Pedro Porro missed Tottenham's match at Manchester United after withdrawing from Spain duty with a hamstring injury sustained in the 3-2 defeat by Aston Villa. The defender was initially expected to miss four weeks.

According to the Standard, Porro could return against Coventry or Chelsea later in the month. Ahead of the Manchester United trip, Roberto De Zerbi provided an update on the defender's recovery.

"Pedro - I think - is not [out] for many games," said Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham manager.

The report said Porro was not expected to remain unavailable for an extended period, with a potential return listed for October 24 against Chelsea.

Dejan Kulusevski has been sidelined since May last year because of a complex knee issue. The Sweden international recently suffered another setback after returning to first-team training.

According to the Standard, Kulusevski played in his first game for 17 months in a match involving senior Tottenham players against the club's Under-21s and Under-18s players not on international duty.

De Zerbi said Kulusevski travelled to Old Trafford with the squad, but he was not included in the matchday group. His potential return remains under assessment.

Mykhailo Mudryk also remains unavailable after joining Tottenham on loan from Chelsea and suffering an ankle injury in training. De Zerbi described the setback as "stupid".

The Standard reported that Mudryk was expected to return after six to eight weeks and could be available against Crystal Palace on October 31, but not against his parent club Chelsea.

Xavi Simons has been out since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during Tottenham's win at Wolves in April last season. According to the Standard, he has been rehabilitating in the United States and is expected back after the turn of the year.

Wilson Odobert is recovering from a left ACL rupture suffered during Tottenham's home defeat by Newcastle in February. The Standard reported a nine-month recovery timeline could place his return in November 2026.
