New statistics have revealed which Tottenham players are covering the most ground under Roberto De Zerbi, with Sandro Tonali, Andy Robertson and Archie Gray among those leading the way.Tottenham have endured a difficult start to the season, failing to win any of their opening six Premier League matches. However, the underlying running statistics offer an interesting insight into the physical demands being placed on De Zerbi’s players.According to FotMob, Tonali leads the squad for distance covered per 90 minutes, while Robertson tops the rankings for sprints per 90. Gray also features prominently in both categories, underlining his contribution across the opening fixtures.Spurs Web has examined the numbers to identify which players are covering the most ground and making the most sprints, although those figures alone do not provide a complete measure of work rate.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramSandro Tonali leads Tottenham in distance coveredOur focus today is on distance covered and, according to FotMob’s statistics, no Tottenham player has covered more ground than Sandro Tonali this season per 90 minutes.That should not be entirely surprising given that Tonali has featured in every game at the heart of Spurs’ midfield. His role demands hard running, and he has delivered, covering a total distance of 65.1 km.The Italian also tops the chart for distance covered per 90 minutes with 11.3 km. Behind him is Jan Paul van Hecke, another player who has featured in every Premier League game this season.According to the data analysis site, Van Hecke has covered a distance of 60.4 km. That makes sense given how high the centre-back often pushes up. In terms of distance covered per 90 minutes, he is joint fourth with 10.1 km.Other players making the list include Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, Andy Robertson, Savio, Omar Marmoush and Micky van de Ven. Bentancur is second for distance covered per 90 minutes with 11.2 km, while Gray ranks third with 11.1 km.RankPlayerDistance (km)Total distance covered (km)1Sandro Tonali11.365.12Rodrigo Bentancur11.247.73Archie Gray11.149.64Andrew Robertson10.141.35Sávio10.137.26Jan Paul van Hecke10.160.47Omar Marmoush9.940.18Micky van de Ven9.840.99Antonín Kinský5.935.3Robertson and Gray among Spurs’ top sprintersIn terms of sprints per 90 minutes, the numbers look very different, although a few names remain in the top five, including Robertson, Gray and Savio.Robertson, who has only played a handful of games, is the Spurs player who makes the most sprints per 90 minutes, averaging 16.2.
