Vicario absence continues as Rberto De Zerbi settles on winning formula

Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Guglielmo Vicario will miss Tottenham’s relegation clash at home to Leeds on Monday night.

Vicario had been expected back in training three weeks ago, having undergone hernia surgery during the April international break.

His return to action has been delayed, and De Zerbi admitted in his pre-match press conference on Thursday that he did not know when Vicario would return.

In Vicario’s place, stand-in goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has impressed and was unlucky not to keep a second successive clean sheet as Spurs restricted Aston Villa to just one shot on target during their 2-1 win at Villa Park last weekend.

Dominic Solanke also missed the win over Villa with a hamstring injury, and De Zerbi said he was unlikely to feature against Leeds, though he hoped he could be in contention to play Chelsea next week.

Worry: Rodrigo Bentancur

De Zerbi has also allayed fears of an injury to Rodrigo Bentancur.

Spurs’ midfield combination was crucial to their dominance against Villa, and De Zerbi is likely to again call upon Conor Gallagher, Joao Palhinha and Bentancur for the visit of Leeds.

In defence, De Zerbi has relied on a settled backline, with Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie at full-back and Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven forming a solid centre-half partnership.

With Udogie overcoming a muscle injury to start against Villa, De Zerbi is again likely to have a near-full complement of defensive options as he prepares to take on Leeds, minus stricken captain Cristian Romero.

James Maddison remains a doubt despite having been named on the bench in each of Spurs’ last three games.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bissouma, Gallagher; Kolo Muani, Tel; Richarlison

Doubt: Maddison

Injured: Davies, Kulusevski, Odobert, Kudus, Romero, Simons, Solanke, Vicario
