Roberto De Zerbi dealt early injury blow after taking Tottenham reinsBy George Sessions, Press AssociationNew Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has already been dealt an injury blow after midfielder Pape Sarr was unable to feature for Senegal in their friendly with Gambia. It adds to an already-complicated start to life at Spurs after De Zerbi’s appointment faced opposition from sections of the fanbase. Three supporters’ groups produced ‘No to De Zerbi’ statements last Friday, owing to past comments about Marseille forward Mason Greenwood. PA understands Spurs carefully considered and discussed the comments and sentiments around Greenwood with De Zerbi during negotiations. “That said, we’re Spurs through and through… our support for the club we love, the community and each other goes way beyond any one appointment.”
