Spain's Porro Injured: Worry for Spurs and La Roja
19 Sep
Summary
- Pedro Porro sustained an injury during a match, forcing an early substitution.
- The injury could impact his availability for the Spain national team's upcoming fixtures.
- Tottenham is still seeking their first Premier League win after a difficult start.
Tottenham Hotspur's Pedro Porro was forced off the field in the 17th minute of Saturday's game against Aston Villa due to an injury. The medical team attended to the Spanish right-back, but he was unable to continue, prompting manager Roberto De Zerbi to make an early substitution in the 18th minute.
This injury presents a dual concern for both Tottenham and the Spanish national team. Porro was recently included in Luis de la Fuente's squad for the upcoming 2026-2027 UEFA Nations League campaign. The full extent of his injury and his availability for these international fixtures are yet to be determined, with Spain's coaching staff awaiting his medical report.
For Tottenham, Porro's injury exacerbates their challenging start to the Premier League season. The team has struggled to secure a victory in their opening matches, having lost to Brentford and Newcastle, and drawn against Nottingham and Everton. Their difficulties extend beyond the league, as they were also eliminated from the Carabao Cup.
