Three things we expect De Zerbi to reveal in Tottenham vs Wolves press conference

Wait 5 sec.

Roberto De Zerbi is set to address the media ahead of a pivotal weekend for Tottenham Hotspur, with several selection dilemmas and fitness concerns likely to dominate the agenda as the club prepares for a crucial trip to Molineux.Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant opportunity to climb out of the bottom three this weekend following the goalless draw between West Ham United and Crystal Palace on Monday night. That stalemate leaves Spurs just two points adrift of safety, meaning a victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers could see them move into 17th place should the Hammers fail to beat Everton.The margin for error at this stage of the season is incredibly slim, with just five games remaining to determine their Premier League status. Spurs have frequently struggled in moments where they were required to step up this term, with the frustrating defeat to Nottingham Forest and the recent draw against Brighton and Hove Albion serving as prime examples of missed opportunities.However, this weekend represents a moment where they simply cannot afford to falter again. Roberto De Zerbi and his players must rise to the occasion and seize the initiative if they are to maintain their top-flight status, making the build-up to the fixture against Rob Edwards’ side particularly tense.With De Zerbi set to face the media ahead of Tottenham’s clash with Wolves, we have now identified a few questions we would like to see answered.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramRoberto De Zerbi to provide Guglielmo Vicario update as Antonin Kinsky waitsOne question that will be on the minds of many Tottenham supporters concerns the goalkeeping situation.Antonin Kinsky has been in goal since De Zerbi took charge of Spurs due to Guglielmo Vicario’s hernia surgery. However, the Italian is expected to return soon based on the initial timeline, and clarity from De Zerbi on his availability will be important.It is also known that De Zerbi is not afraid to reintroduce returning players straight into the side, so it remains to be seen whether the same approach will be taken with Vicario or if Kinsky will retain his place.Tottenham boss faces James Maddison fitness questions before Wolves clashThe fitness of James Maddison is another issue that requires urgent clarification before the weekend fixture. In somewhat surprising fashion, the England international was named among the substitutes for the game against Brighton and Hove Albion, although he ultimately remained an unused sub throughout the ninety minutes.Subsequent reports suggested that despite his inclusion in the matchday squad against the Seagulls, Maddison remains unfit to feature in a competitive game. It is claimed that Roberto De Zerbi included the Tottenham playmaker in the team purely to provide a morale boost to the rest of the dressing room during a difficult period.However, when Xavi Simons appeared to be struggling with a knock during that match, Maddison looked visibly eager to contribute even after Spurs had utilised all their permitted substitutions. If he is indeed unfit to feature, his apparent readiness to come on creates a contradiction that the manager will likely be asked to address.Spurs midfield selection looms as Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma impressAnother area that will draw attention is the midfield setup following the performance against Brighton and Hove Albion.Many Tottenham supporters felt it was one of the side’s strongest displays, with Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma both returning to the starting XI and playing key roles. Their composure on the ball allowed Spurs to maintain a degree of control in midfield.There is a case for De Zerbi to retain the same midfield trio against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but that decision will depend on whether he was satisfied with their performance. His assessment will be telling ahead of the weekend.READ MORE: Besiktas raise Orkun Kokcu price after Tottenham and Man United show interestThe post Three things we expect De Zerbi to reveal in Tottenham vs Wolves press conference appeared first on Spurs Web.
