“Not good enough” – De Zerbi calls out unfit striker but makes strange international break decision

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto de Zerbi has publicly criticized striker Dominic Solanke's physical condition following the team's poor start to the season. Despite expressing dissatisfaction with his squad's overall fitness levels, De Zerbi has made the decision to give players not on international duty a full seven days of rest during the first week of the international break.

De Zerbi emphasized that Solanke needs to improve his physical condition and regain his confidence, though he maintained his support for the striker. The week of rest for the remaining squad members is reportedly preparation for two weeks of intense physical training ahead of their return to Premier League action.
