In lineup vs. Hoffenheim
Fernandes is in the starting lineup for Tottenham's final preseason friendly against Hoffenheim, the club announced.
Analysis: Fernandes had missed the club's last four preseason friendlies, with his most recent minutes coming against Auckland at the end of July, making this start an encouraging sign heading into the season opener against Brentford on Aug. 22. He made 36 Premier League appearances for West Ham United last season, contributing three goals and four assists while finishing joint fifth in the league for tackles with 103. Fernandes is expected to pair with fellow summer signing Sandro Tonali in midfield this season.
Out for second straight game
Fernandes will miss Saturday's match against Chelsea for the second straight game due to fatigue in his calf, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi, per the Standard. "It's not the right moment to take risk. We'll work again when we're back in London"
Analysis: Fernandes also sat out Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Sydney FC, a match Tottenham won on penalties, having impressed in his first two outings for the club with his composure on the ball and eye for goal before this issue arose. He is expected to be ready to resume full training once the squad returns to London next week, putting him back on track to reintegrate with the group.
