Available from bench
Porro (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Chelsea.
Analysis: Porro is back in contention after missing two Premier League fixtures with a hamstring injury. Despite returning to training, he is not immediately restored to the starting XI, suggesting Tottenham will manage his return carefully before handing him a full workload.
Available for Chelsea clash
Porro (hamstring) is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea after recovering from an injury that kept him sidelined for Tottenham's last two league matches, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Analysis: Porro has recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained against Aston Villa before the international break, which forced him to miss Tottenham's last two Premier League fixtures. The Spanish right-back resumed team training Thursday and has now been cleared to return to contention for Saturday's clash against Chelsea. His return could provide a valuable attacking boost for Tottenham, given his ability to contribute in the final third through overlapping runs, crosses and chance creation from the right flank.
Back in team training
Porro (hamstring) resumed first-team training Thursday after missing Tottenham's last two Premier League matches, putting him in contention for Saturday's clash against Chelsea, according to the club.
Analysis: Porro returned to team training Thursday after missing Tottenham's last two Premier League matches with a hamstring injury sustained against Aston Villa before the international break. The Spanish right-back had been targeting Saturday's clash against Chelsea for his return, and his participation in training is an encouraging sign ahead of the weekend. His availability remains dependent on his response to training, while his potential playing time is still uncertain after two matches on the sidelines. Archie Gray could continue providing cover at right-back if Porro is not cleared to feature.
Could return against Chelsea
Porro (hamstring) remains sidelined for Monday's Premier League clash against Coventry but could return against Chelsea on Oct. 24, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Pedro is coming. Maybe against Chelsea, he can play."
Analysis: Porro continues to make progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury he sustained against Aston Villa, which initially carried an estimated recovery period of approximately one month. The Spanish right-back recently shared footage of himself training but is not yet ready to return to competitive action. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has now identified Saturday's meeting with Chelsea as a potential comeback date, although his availability will depend on his progress over the coming days. Archie Gray is expected to remain an option at right-back against Coventry, while Porro could reclaim his starting role once fully fit.
Closing in on return from injury
Porro (hamstring) is nearing a return to competitive action and could be available for Monday's Premier League clash against Coventry after sharing footage of himself training Friday. The defender posted the message "almost back" alongside the footage, although his availability for the matchup remains uncertain, according to Gary Ward of RoundTable.
Analysis: Porro has made encouraging progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury he sustained against Aston Villa, which initially carried an estimated recovery period of approximately one month. The Spanish right-back missed Tottenham's recent clash against Manchester United despite traveling with the squad to support his teammates, with coach Roberto De Zerbi previously confirming that he was not ready to return. However, Porro's latest training footage suggests he is approaching the final stages of his rehabilitation and could be considered for Monday's matchup against Coventry. Archie Gray should remain an option at right-back if Porro is not cleared in time, while the Spaniard could initially see his minutes managed upon returning.
Unavailable despite traveling
Porro (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester United despite being included in Tottenham's traveling group to support his teammates, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi, per Football London. "Porro and Mudryk are both not available. Pedro not for many games. Tomorrow he comes with us for support."
Analysis: Porro remains sidelined after suffering a hamstring injury against Aston Villa, which initially carried an estimated recovery period of approximately one month. Although he will travel with Tottenham to Manchester, De Zerbi clarified that his inclusion is solely to support the squad rather than participate in Saturday's match. Archie Gray should continue deputizing at right-back against Manchester United while Porro completes his recovery.
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.
Analysis: 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.
Likely to miss some time
Porro is likely to miss some time with an expected hamstring injury after following an Instagram post he made Sunday. "Sometimes you have to stop, take a breath and start again. Now it's time to recover and trust the process. I'll come back stronger, hungrier and more motivated than ever. This is just another obstacle on the road. See you soon."
Analysis: Porro was forced off the field Saturday and appears to have a bit more knowledge on his injury, with the defender appearing to be set for a role on the sidelines. 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.
Suffers suspected hamstring injury
Porro was forced off in the 18th minute of Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, with coach Roberto De Zerbi saying he believes the problem is a hamstring."Listen, Pedro, I said after the World Cup, I said the management of Pedro should be different, because after the World Cup, many games. I don't know what the problem is. It's a hamstring, I think. Hopefully, it's not a big problem."
Analysis: Porro's withdrawal came less than 20 minutes into his return to the starting XI, having only just recovered from the muscular issue that ruled him out against Everton and Liverpool, leaving Tottenham facing another prospective void at right-back. coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed he suspects a hamstring problem but refrained from assessing its severity, offering no definitive timeline for his recovery. Archie Gray deputised during Porro's previous lay-off and remains the primary candidate to cover on the right flank, while the defender's withdrawal from the Spain squad guarantees he will play no part over the international break.
Forced off with injury
Porro (undisclosed) was forced off in the first half of Saturday's clash against Aston Villa due to injury..
Analysis: Porro had only recently reclaimed his starting spot after being rested at various points early in the season following an intense World Cup run, and this setback now interrupts that return. He will hope to recover from his recurrent injury during the international break, with Archie Gray positioned to continue at right back until he gets back to full speed for the Spurs.
Makes starting XI
Porro (strain) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Porro was confirmed available by coach Roberto De Zerbi after training fully in recent days, earning a starting role at right back as he reclaims his spot from Archie Gray following a spell on the sidelines. The Spaniard had been rested at various points in the early stages of the season after an intense World Cup run, and his return to the starting lineup also sees him take back set piece duties from Andrew Robertson and Mateus Fernandes.
Available to play Saturday
Porro (strain) trained in full in recent days and is available to play in Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Porro, Tonali, Maddison, all are available to play. We have to understand the situation in terms of physical condition but all of them are ready."
Analysis: Porro had been rested a few times in the early stages of the season following an intense World Cup run, though the issue was never considered significant. His confirmed availability now positions him to look at reclaiming a starting role at right back from Archie Gray, along with taking back set piece duties from Andrew Robertson and Mateus Fernandes.
Expected to return Saturday
Porro (strain) will bounce back to the squad for the weekend meeting with Aston Villa, coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed after the midweek loss to Liverpool, per Alasdair Gold of Football London.
Analysis: Porro has been forced to rest a few times in the early stages of the season following an intense World Cup run, but he's not dealing with a significant problem and should be able to make regular starts later this year. His presence at right-back would give the team an important boost, particularly in terms of offensive projection from that flank. Once he's fully fit, he'll look to regain a starting role from Archie Gray while taking set pieces away from Andrew Robertson and Mateus Fernandes.
Remains unavailable
Porro (muscular) remains unavailable for Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Pedro is still not available"
Analysis: Porro will miss a second consecutive match after sitting out Saturday's clash against Everton with a minor muscular problem. His initial absence was described as precautionary following a heavy workload at the World Cup, but he has yet to recover sufficiently to return. Archie Gray remains an option at right-back while Porro is sidelined, with no firm timetable provided for his return.
Out with minor muscle problem
Porro has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Everton with a minor muscular problem, head coach Roberto De Zerbi flagged him as a doubt Friday. "Pedro played a World Cup, a long World Cup and we already knew after the World Cup it could be a difficult management for him,".
Analysis: Porro's absence is precautionary rather than the result of anything serious, with Roberto De Zerbi explicitly framing the decision as risk management and pointing to the workload the right-back carried through a long World Cup with Spain. He started last weekend's goalless draw at Nottingham Forest and there is no indication of a lengthy layoff, so his availability beyond Everton will hinge on how the muscle settles over the coming days. Archie Gray will start in his place.
Five crosses and clean sheet
Porro had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Porro and the Spurs defense kept their first clean sheet of the season Saturday, with Porro contributing two clearances, one interception and one tackle on that end of the pitch. He was very active on the attack as well as he created three chances and recorded two accurate crosses. Especially with James Maddison (shoulder) injured again, Porro is one of Spurs' key players on the attack in addition to his defensive duties.
Four shots in Saturday's loss
Porro had four shots (one on goal) and four crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Porro, who missed the season opener due to an undisclosed injury, returned to the starting XI Saturday. Instead of playing his typical position of right back, he started on the right wing and was very active on the attack. He took four shots, putting one on target, and recorded four crosses, but ultimately could not help Spurs find its first goal of the season. With Mohammed Kudus now healthy and Savio recently joining the club, Porro will likely move back to right back soon.
Logs 25 minutes in cup match
Porro took one shot (zero on goal) and delivered one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's EFL Cup victory over Charlton.
Analysis: Porro bounced back to action as expected, having missed the previous league contest due to a minor issue. While he only replaced Destiny Udogie for the final stretch of the midweek match, the 2026 World Cup champion will be closer to regular spot in the lineup in subsequent fixtures, offering plenty of attacking upside from a right-back position. If he avoids further injuries, Porro will be reliable for meaningful playing time, as well as set-piece taking duties and a variety of defensive stats against most opposition.
Bench option
Porro (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Charlton.
Analysis: Porro was likely to be selected for the team sheet Wednesday and has, with the defender given a bench role. He will likely be introduced into the match later to test his legs, having missed the season opener on Saturday. He will look to get back into a starting role at right-back once his fitness levels are better, having started 32 games last season.
Expected on bench Wednesday
Porro is set to be on the bench for Wednesday's cup match against Charlton Athletic, according to head coach Roberto De Zerbi, per football london.
Analysis: Porro was left out of the season opener at Brentford as Tottenham managed his fitness following a late return from Spain's World Cup campaign, which left him with little preseason work. He's now set to be included on the bench for Wednesday's cup match with Charlton Athletic, a chance to get minutes under him and build toward full sharpness. If that goes well and he's fully fit, he could be in line to replace Archie Gray in the lineup for Saturday's visit from Newcastle United, though head coach Roberto De Zerbi will likely want to see how he comes through Wednesday first before committing to that.
