The World Cup winner visited a specialist in Spain over the international break to aid his recovery, and De Zerbi said on Friday that the right-back is in contention for a return to the matchday squad.<\/p>\n
Having decided not to risk Destiny Udogie against Coventry, De Zerbi has also confirmed his first-choice left-back remains unavailable for selection against Chelsea.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the medical staff, we are trying to find the best way for him,\u201d the Spurs boss said in the pre-match press conference. \u201cBut after Manchester United, I have not worked with him, and it is a problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are lucky because in the same position we have solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loanee Mykhailo Mudryk is expected back soon from an ankle injury, though he is ineligible anyway for Saturday\u2019s game against parent club Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Lucas Bergvall (knee) and Savio (muscle) are still out, while long-term absentees Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons are progressing but still some way from a return to match action.<\/p>\n
Rodrigo Bentancur, meanwhile, will serve the second game of his three-match ban after he was sent off against Manchester United for headbutting Luke Shaw.<\/p>\n
De Zerbi will provide an update on the fitness of his squad during his pre-Chelsea press conference on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
