Tottenham’s season opener against Brentford looks like a nightmare scenario as up to thirteen players, including key defenders Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro, are sidelined. Manager Roberto De Zerbi battles a deep injury list, with stars like James Maddison and Dominic Solanke racing against time to recover — while long-term absentees like Kulusevski and Kudus remain out. De Zerbi insists on no rushed returns, even as Pape Sarr deals with hamstring pain. Brentford’s issues are minor by comparison — missing Milambo (ACL rehab) and Van den Berg (groin), but otherwise relatively healthy. Spurs face a brutal start, trying to rebound from two tough seasons amid massive player shortages.
