De Zerbi leaves Porro starting role undecided for Leeds trip
Archie Gray could make a fifth consecutive Premier League start if Pedro Porro does not return to Tottenham's lineup at Elland Road.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has yet to settle on whether Pedro Porro will start against Leeds United at Elland Road. He told reporters the choice was not tactical, with the defender having recently returned from a hamstring injury.
Porro has appeared twice in succession as a substitute since his return. He came on at halftime against Crystal Palace as Tottenham won 2-0. De Zerbi said Porro had chosen not to start that match following a discussion with him.
Archie Gray could keep his starting place if Porro is not ready, extending his run to five consecutive Premier League starts. The 20-year-old scored against Palace but was replaced by Porro at halftime because of concerns about a possible second yellow card. Gray had been booked in the 15th minute.
An appearance would be Gray's first against Leeds since his 2024 move to Tottenham. Spurs head into the fixture with three consecutive victories, while Porro has also been selected for Spain's latest squad.
