Ends preseason with zero minutes
Porro is not part of Tottenham's squad to face Hoffenheim, ending preseason without a single minute played, the club announced.
Analysis: Porro reported to Tottenham after winning the World Cup with Spain, playing the full 120 minutes in the final against Argentina and contributing two goals along with seven shots and 10 chances created across the tournament. He made 34 Premier League appearances last season, contributing a goal and two assists, and his lack of preseason involvement adds a layer of uncertainty heading into the Aug. 22 opener against Brentford. Archie Gray could start in his place if Porro isn't yet up to full match condition. Porro is expected to build up his fitness quickly once the competitive season begins.
Reports to Tottenham
Porro reports to Tottenham Thursday after winning the World Cup with Spain and to prepare the new 2026/27 Premier League season, according to the club.
Analysis: Porro made 34 Premier League appearances last season, contributing one goal and two assists, and capped it off by helping Spain win the World Cup, playing the full 120 minutes in the final against Argentina and contributing two goals along with seven shots and 10 chances created across the tournament, part of a run in which he featured in six of Spain's eight games. His return to club training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he looks to build on a title winning summer heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
Active on both ends Sunday
Porro had six crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Argentina.
Analysis: Porro played the full 120 minutes despite being a minor doubt prior to the game due to a slight discomfort. The right-back excelled in both passing and defensive tasks, registering a variety of stats which included the second-most crosses in the match. He ended up with two goals, along with seven shots, 10 chances created, 14 tackles and 14 clearances, while taking part in five of his side's seven clean sheets across six appearances. While he was initially in contention with Marcos Llorente, Porro's momentum allowed him to establish himself in the starting spot for all of the knockout rounds.
Fully fit for WC final
Porro (strain) is fit and available for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to El Partidazo de COPE. "I thought I had suffered a muscular tear, but it's just some edema. I'm doing very well."
Analysis: Porro was rested and didn't train Thursday, and while manager Luis de la Fuente admitted the right-back was dealing with "something minor," the Spurs defender will be available for the final Sunday. With two goals in the knockout stages and impressive performances as a two-way threat on the right flank, look for Porro to remain Spain's starting right-back for the final against Argentina, where he'll have to deal with the threat of Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez playing through his side.
Doesn't train Thursday
Porro didn't train Thursday due to a minor muscular issue but is expected to be fit and available for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina on Sunday, Juan Jimenez of Diario AS reports.
Analysis: The Spurs right-back, who scored Spain's second goal in the semifinals against France, is dealing with a minor muscular issue, so the coaching staff led by Luis de la Fuente opted to rest him Thursday. Porro subbed off late Tuesday in the 84th minute following his goal, but that was more due to Spain playing more defensive up two goals. With three days before the final, Porro is expected to be ready to start.
Scores goal in victory
Porro scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-0 win against France.
Analysis: Porro delivered on both fronts Tuesday, helping his team to a clean sheet with three clearances and two tackles while doubling the lead through a right-footed finish after an association with Dani Olmo during the 58th minute. The defender has been outstanding over four games since taking over the starting spot from Marcos Llorente, and the goal was his second of the tournament. Therefore, Porro should be expected to carry significant playing time in the final round.
Active at both ends in win
Porro had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 win against Belgium.
Analysis: Porro seems to have earned the starting nod on the right side of the defense over Marcos Llorente. In four World Cup starts, Porro has one goal, five shots, nine chances created, 18 crosses, 10 tackles and eight clearances.
Notches four tackles
Porro generated one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-0 win against Portugal.
Analysis: Porro did well to protect his flank while earning a clean sheet with Spain on Monday, recording an interception, three clearances and four tackles in the defense. He would also add a bit to the attack with his two-way efforts, recording a shot and two crosses. With two starts in the knockout stages, he should remain their primary right-back, with Marcos Llorente as another option.
Scores first-ever Spain goal
Porro scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and five chances created in Thursday's 3-0 victory versus Austria.
Analysis: Porro scored his first-ever international goal for Spain with a thumping header from close range following a cross from Alex Baena midway through the second half. The Tottenham full-back was a dangerous weapon, pushing up the field on the right flank, establishing great understanding with Lamine Yamal and consistently crossing the ball, but he also delivered a solid defensive effort. Porro and Marcos Llorente have been rotating at right-back, and it remains to be seen who will get the nod for the Round of 16 match.
Whips in six crosses
Porro recorded three chances created, three tackles won and six crosses in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Porro played the full 90 at right-back for Spain on Sunday after a bench role in their opener, seeing a solid match on both sides of the ball in the win. He would highlight the win with a clean sheet and the second most crosses on the team, completing 61 passes in the process. He will hope to maintain this role, although the versatile Marcos Llorente did start the opener.
Signs new Spurs deal
Porro has signed a new long-term contract with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Analysis: Porro was one of the few standout performers for the Spurs in the 2025/26 season, tallying one goal, two assists, 53 chances created, 237 crosses and 102 clearances while appearing in 34 of the team's 38 Premier League matches. This new deal ensures Porro staying with the London club for what should be the prime years of his career.
Should start at right-back
Porro has been named in Spain's World Cup squad and holds a slight edge in the competition with Marcos Llorente for the starting right-back role under coach Luis de la Fuente.
Analysis: Porro ended the season having been one of Tottenham's most reliable and active players, making 34 Premier League appearances for one goal and two assists across 2,798 minutes in what has been another strong individual campaign for the Spaniard, although the Spurs struggled to remain in the Premier League until the last game. The offensive full-back brings energy, directness and an attacking threat from right-back that gives Spain an additional outlet going forward, and his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a natural fit in manager De la Fuente's system. Porro heads into the World Cup knowing his place in the starting lineup is not yet fully guaranteed but with the form and quality to hold off Marcos Llorente's challenge when the tournament gets underway.
12 crosses in finale
Porro had two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (six accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Everton.
Analysis: Porro had another strong performance in Sunday's season finale, helping Spurs secure the win to avoid relegation. He created three chances in his third consecutive match, recorded 12 crosses for the fifth time this season and tied a season high with six accurate crosses. He also helped keep a clean sheet, contributing four tackles, four clearances and one interception on the defensive end. He finishes the season with just three goal contributions (one goal and two assists), his fewest in four seasons with Tottenham, but he played a crucial role down the stretch to keep his side in the Premier League.
Creative in Monday's draw
Porro registered two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.
Analysis: Porro was once again Spurs' main creative force Monday, leading the way with nine crosses (four accurate) and three chances created. While it was a statistically solid performance from him, he looked a bit off his game and seemed to be slightly rattled by the Leeds press. He played well on the defensive end though, recording three interceptions, two tackles, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.
Eight crosses and clean sheet Saturday
Porro had two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute.
Analysis: Porro had another productive outing on both ends of the pitch Saturday, highlighted by his fourth consecutive match with eight crosses. He added two chances and took two off-target shots on the attack. He also kept his first clean sheet since Jan. 1, contributing five clearances, four tackles and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.
Scores opener Saturday
Porro scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Brighton.
Analysis: Porro scored his first goal of the Premier League season Saturday, a header in the 39th minute assisted by Xavi Simons. It was one of two shots he put on target in the match. He's played well since Roberto De Zerbi took over as manager, recording five shots (all on target), four chances created and 19 crosses (six accurate) across the last two matches.
Productive Sunday
Porro had three shots (three on goal), 11 crosses (four accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 37th minute.
Analysis: Porro was Spurs' best attacking threat Sunday, highlighted by his season-high three shots on target. He also created three chances and recorded 11 crosses for the second match in a row. While Porro has had an up and down season, he will likely need to be at his best down the stretch if Spurs are to avoid relegation.
Goal and assist Tuesday
Porro scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and three chances created in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat versus Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Spurs fell into a 4-0 deficit just 22 minutes into the match, and Porro is the only reason why this Round of 16 tie is not already over. He scored a nice goal in the 26th minute off a Richarlison assist, and not only did that cut the deficit down to three goals but it also clearly settled a completely rattled Spurs side. He then assisted Dominic Solanke's strike in the 76th minute which gave Tottenham a sliver of hope heading into the second leg next Wednesday. The team will have no shot unless they can fix the defensive issues, so Porro will need to step up on that end of the pitch as well.
Starting Sunday
Porro (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Fulham.
Analysis: Porro has made his return to the team shete and is wasting no time seeing the playing field, with the defender earning a starting role immediately. With 21 starts in 23 appearances ahead of the injury, the defender should remain in his starting role moving forward, especially with the club struggling with injuries.
Back available Sunday
Porro (hamstring) is back available for Saturday's clash against Fulham after resuming training this week, coach Igor Tudor said in the press conference.
Analysis: Porro returned to training this week and is available again for Saturday's clash against Fulham after missing the last five matches due to a hamstring injury. The full-back was an undisputed starter prior to his setback and is expected to quickly reclaim his spot, as he remains a key piece in his side's attacking build-up and set-piece duties.
