Maddison and Kulusevski DOUBTS but Porro returns | De Zerbi Press Conference

Roberto De Zerbi's press conference before Chelsea vs Tottenham: Destiny Udogie is out, James Madison is a doubt, and De Zerbi says Spurs' poor record at Stamford Bridge should be "one motivation more, not one pressure."

On team news, Bergvall and Savio remain out and Udogie is unavailable, while Robertson, Marmoush and Solanke are fine. Madison missed the first three days of training and De Zerbi doesn't know yet if he's ready, with Kulusevski also still being managed. He explains why he won't take risks with either of them, and has no update on Wilson Odobert.

Asked about the Stamford Bridge record, he says there's no fear in his squad: "We have already many problems, this is not a problem." He talks about the balance between aggression and discipline after Bentancur's red card ("I prefer one too strong reaction than one player without blood"), why Spurs looked predictable against Coventry's low block, and how Chelsea's approach will make this a different game.

He also discusses Chelsea signing so many players from his old club Brighton, rates Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer as "one of the best" attacks in the league, and refuses to talk about the referee.
