Tottenham Hotspur are dealing with a setback ahead of their Premier League fixture against Everton, as winger Mykhailo Mudryk sustained an ankle injury during Friday’s training session. The 25-year-old, who joined the club on a season-long loan from Chelsea, is expected to miss action until after the international break.
Mudryk made his debut off the bench in Tottenham’s recent goalless draw at Nottingham Forest, appearing for 15 minutes. Manager Roberto De Zerbi described the injury as “stupid” but emphasized the need for a timely return given Mudryk’s importance to the squad.
Meanwhile, attention is turning to Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, whose recent performances have drawn praise despite a frustrating summer with the England national team. Chief football correspondent David Hytner notes that Mainoo has transformed from an overlooked squad member into a central figure for United, particularly in upcoming derby matches.
Mainoo spent the previous summer on the sidelines during England’s World Cup campaign, failing to make an appearance despite being named in the squad. His quiet demeanor and consistent work rate have nonetheless caught the eye of observers, with many highlighting his ability to control tempo and connect play in midfield.
