De Zerbi Awaits News on Key Players' Fitness for Relegation Battle

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that the extent of injuries to Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons remains unknown after both players were forced off during Saturday's crucial 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Solanke was substituted in the 40th minute due to a muscle injury, while Simons exited the game in the 63rd minute with a knee problem. João Palhinha's 82nd-minute goal secured the London club's first league win in 16 matches. Tottenham currently sits 18th in the table with 34 points from 34 games, two points adrift of safety.

"Solanke has a muscle injury. I don't know how serious it is. For Xavi, it's a knee issue, and we'll assess it in the coming days, Monday or Tuesday. For Solanke, it's not a major problem. I don't know how many games we'll lose him for, but I'd like to know Xavi's true condition because a knee injury is always different from a muscle injury," De Zerbi told the media.

Tottenham, facing their first relegation from the top flight since 1977, has four remaining fixtures this season. Their next match is an away trip to Aston Villa next Sunday.
