Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian manager of Tottenham, has confirmed the readiness of trio Sandro Tonali, Pedro Porro, and James Maddison to participate against Aston Villa in the match scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, as part of the Premier League.


De Zerbi said at the press conference before the match: "Porro, Tonali, and Maddison are all available to play. We need to assess their physical condition as normal, but they are all ready at the moment."


The Italian coach spoke about the importance of James Maddison to his team, explaining that the player has been working with the group for about 10 to 15 days, and that reaching his best physical condition will be extremely important, given his personality, experience, and the quality of his passing, which are factors that De Zerbi believes give him different characteristics compared to the other available options.


Speaking about the upcoming match against Aston Villa, De Zerbi stressed the need for calmness and confidence, and to continue working towards improvement. He confirmed that the match represents the top priority at the moment, and that his team needs to deliver a good performance if they want to achieve victory.


The Italian coach added that Aston Villa is going through a similar phase after changing several players during the summer, expecting a tough match between the two teams.
