Roberto De Zerbi has provided an update on the five Tottenham players who have stayed back in London for injury reasons as the rest of the squad flew out to New Zealand and Australia on pre-season tour.A lot of young players are part of the 35-man Tottenham squad who have travelled Down Under for their pre-season tour.As expected, none of Spurs’ four World Cup semifinalists has made the trip, while five players have been left back at Hotspur Way to continue their rehabilitation from injury.Xavi Simons has been teasing Tottenham fans about his injury return over the last few days, but another Spurs attacker is now on the verge of being back in training.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMohammed Kudus will be ready to rejoin Tottenham training in little over a weekAlongside Xavi, the four other players who are nursing injuries are Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Guglielmo Vicario.Roberto De Zerbi has now admitted that Kudus will be ready to rejoin training when Tottenham return to London next week, but he confessed that the club will proceed with more caution with Dejan Kulusevski, given how long he has been out for.When asked for an update on Spurs’ injured players, the Italian told Football.London: “Kudus is very close, I think. When we come back to London, he will be available to start to work with us. It is a great thing for us. Because Kudus is another important player. And Kulusevski, we have to see in the next couple of weeks.“He is another important player. But after one season, one complete season, without games, we have to analyse better and better and don’t take risks for sure. First of all, for him, and then for us.”De Zerbi confirms Guglielmo Vicario is carrying an injurySpurs suggested Vicario had been left back in London as he had sustained a ‘minor knock’ in training.This was questioned by Fabrizio Romano, who said that the goalkeeper’s absence from the pre-season tour may be transfer-related, but De Zerbi has now insisted that the 29-year-old does indeed have a minor issue.The Tottenham boss said about the Italy international: “Vicario has an injury. Not a big injury, but he needs to stay one week in London.”READ MORE: ‘What I have been told’ – Tottenham journalist sets record straight on Djed Spence exit rumoursThe post Injured Tottenham star is ‘very close’ to exciting return – Roberto De Zerbi reveals appeared first on Spurs Web.
