“Solanke is a muscular injury, I don’t know what level of injury,” Spurs boss De Zerbi said.

“For Xavi, it’s a problem with his knee. We need to see in the next days, Monday or Tuesday.

“For Solanke, it’s not a big problem. I don’t know how many games we lose him but I would like to know the real situation of Xavi because the knee (injury) is always different to muscular.

“He (Simons) felt pain but I spoke with him two minutes ago and he feels better than at the beginning of the injury.”
