Dejan Kulusevski - Making strides in recovery Kulusevski (knee) continues to make progress in training as he works toward his return to competitive action, according to teammate Lucas Bergvall, per Football London. "He's doing...

Impact Kulusevski appears to be moving closer to a long-awaited return after recently resuming full-team training following more than 500 days on the sidelines with a complicated patellar injury. He has experienced a minor issue since returning to training, but is back working with the squad and will remain at Tottenham during the international break to continue building his fitness. If he avoids further setbacks, Kulusevski could progress toward a place on the bench in the weeks following the break. Once fully available, he should add another option to Tottenham's midfield rotation alongside Mateus Fernandes, Conor Gallagher and James Maddison.

Pedro Porro - Facing month-long absence Porro is expected to be sidelined for around a month with a hamstring injury suffered against Aston Villa, according to The Athletic.

Impact Porro is set for another spell on the sidelines after being forced off just 17 minutes into Saturday's match against Aston Villa. The right-back is unlikely to return against Manchester United on Oct. 10 and could also miss the Oct. 19 clash with Coventry City, though there is optimism he could be available against Chelsea on Oct. 24. Archie Gray should continue to deputize at right-back while Porro recovers.

Ben Davies - Limited to depth role Davies has yet to feature in the Premier League this season, though he played the full 90 minutes and scored in Tottenham's Carabao Cup clash with Charlton.

Impact Davies has been limited to a depth role, sitting behind Destiny Udogie and Andrew Robertson in the pecking order at left-back. His versatility also allows him to provide cover at center-back, where he featured against Charlton and marked the opportunity with a goal. Davies should remain a useful option for rotation across the back line, but regular Premier League minutes could be difficult to come by while Tottenham's preferred defenders are available.

Brandon Austin - Remains third-choice keeper Austin has yet to make an appearance for Tottenham this season.

Impact Austin remains third in Tottenham's goalkeeping hierarchy behind Antonin Kinsky and Martin Dubravka. With both goalkeepers ahead of him in the pecking order, the 27-year-old has a limited path to playing time across all competitions. Austin should primarily provide additional depth in goal and is unlikely to see significant minutes unless injuries or rotation create an opportunity.

Impact Kudus will use the international break to continue building his fitness after recently returning from injury and being limited to substitute appearances. The winger played the entire second half against Aston Villa and provided an assist, showing progress toward a larger workload. Remaining with Tottenham should give him additional time to improve his conditioning, with Kudus potentially pushing for a return to the starting XI against Manchester United on Oct. 10.

Dominic Solanke - Still building fitness Solanke is still building fitness after playing 66 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, per Alasdair Gold of Football.London. "We n...

Impact Solanke had a rough 66 minutes of play Saturday as Villa overcame Tottenham for a win, recording two shots in the loss but staying uneventful outside of the few chances. That said, the forward is appearing to still be working on his fitness after a few seasons of injuries, struggling to find much success with the Spurs since his debut season with the club. He was a forward of solid caliber before his downfall due to injuries, so he hopes to return to regular form once his fitness levels are right, having yet to record a goal in his five appearances (two starts) this season.

This would leave Tottenham without their starting right-back, leaving Archie Gray as a potential replacement. His exact timeline and the extent of the injury are yet to be confirmed, with his club giving little on his injury thus far.
