Tottenham 'set for double injury boost' with Roberto De Zerbi set to welcome back stars

Simons, the Dutch playmaker, has been out since April with a torn ACL that he suffered against Wolves last season. Savio, meanwhile, has had an injury-hit start to his career in north London since his £85million move from Manchester City. The Brazilian has missed the last three matches since picking up a muscle problem against Manchester United. Absentee: SavioGettyNow, however, it is believed that the pair are both close to comebacks, with one potentially in line to return this weekend when Spurs take on Leeds. That is Savio, with Football London reporting that the winger was pictured alongside his team-mates in the dressing room at Hotspur Way. De Zerbi’s latest update on the forward came a couple of weeks ago, when he revealed that the 22-year-old would be out for “some weeks”. "Savio, unfortunately, on Tuesday, before we left for Marbella, he felt a muscular problem, and we lost him for some weeks, unfortunately," said the Tottenham boss. "I don't know [how long he'll be sidelined], but some weeks for sure."As for Simons, the former RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has not featured for Spurs at all this term.Comeback close: Xavi SimonsGettyHowever, The Times reports that the Netherlands international could return to training ahead of schedule, with most ACL injuries taking a year to recover from. Simons, meanwhile, is thought to be closing in on a comeback, although it remains to be seen how soon he will be able to make a full return to competitive action. Should Simons complete his comeback, it would be two months ahead of schedule, but it would offer De Zerbi another option in the No10 position of his 4-2-3-1 shape.
