Major blow for Tottenham ahead of Man United game as star player suffers injury on international duty

With a crucial trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford coming up immediately after the international break, losing their defensive mainstay would severely hamper De Zerbi’s plans as he searches for a urgent turnaround in form.
