Two Spurs defenders return as Porro misses United trip

Tottenham Hotspur defenders Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven are available for the upcoming Premier League match against Manchester United. However, right-back Pedro Porro has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained prior to the international break. Manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed the squad updates during his pre-match press conference ahead of the fixture at Old Trafford.

Van Hecke recovered from a foot issue and Van de Ven overcame a hand injury to make themselves available. Porro's timeline remains unconfirmed, though De Zerbi indicated he should not miss many matches. Elsewhere, Mykhailo Mudryk is unavailable, James Maddison may not be ready to start after missing training, and Dejan Kulusevski is traveling solely in a non-playing support role.
