Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has confirmed that one of his new signings, Mykhailo Mudryk, has suffered an ankle injury ahead of the team's upcoming Premier League match against Everton. The game is set to take place on Saturday evening in north London, and it will be Tottenham's third match of the 2026/27 season. So far, the team has struggled to secure a win or a goal, losing to Brentford and Newcastle United and drawing with Nottingham Forest. Mudryk, who joined Tottenham on a surprise loan deal from Chelsea on the final day of the summer transfer window, sustained the injury during training. He had made a brief return to action as a substitute in Tottenham's match against Nottingham Forest last week but now faces a period of recovery. De Zerbi acknowledged the injury as unfortunate, stating, "Stupid injury, but we are not stupid. We knew when we signed Mudryk, we knew it could be difficult to come back as a normal player." The manager did not provide a specific timeline for Mudryk's return, but reports indicate he may be sidelined for several weeks and is unlikely to play until after the international break. This injury means Mudryk will miss key matches, including the upcoming game against Everton, as well as a Premier League clash with Aston Villa and a Carabao Cup match against Liverpool. However, he might be available for Tottenham's game against Manchester United on October 10. On a more positive note, De Zerbi confirmed that James Maddison and Mohammed Kudus are both fit and available for the match against Everton. Kudus is close to being ready to start, while Dejan Kulusevski has not trained with the team in the past week. The injury to Mudryk adds to the challenges facing Tottenham as they look to secure their first win of the season. With key players unavailable and early results not going in their favor, De Zerbi will be under pressure to turn things around in the upcoming match against Everton.
