So what does it mean for Roberto De Zerbi and his defence?Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s Elias Burke and Dan Kilpatrick to discuss the latest injury news, as well as the players returning to fitness during the international break, including James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, and whether the extended break could finally give Spurs the chance to build some consistency.
