Savio, also referred to as Savinho, will not participate in Tottenham’s Premier League match against Newcastle today at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to muscle fatigue. This absence marks a significant loss for the team as they face their rivals in a crucial league encounter.
Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that the Brazilian winger has not suffered a serious injury, but the club’s medical staff decided not to take any chances.
Savio’s Immediate Impact at Tottenham
Savio made a strong debut for Tottenham Hotspur after joining from Manchester City, contributing significantly in their recent match against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup. Coming off the bench, he scored one goal and assisted another in a commanding 5-1 victory for Spurs. This performance highlights Savio’s potential to be a key player for the team moving forward.
The 24-year-old Spaniard could make his Newcastle debut today after completing a transfer from City that could eventually be worth £52 million.
“He trained with us and he looks sharp,” Jaissle said. After that performance, Savio was expected to feature against Newcastle and could even have started. However, he was left out of the matchday squad altogether. He suffered muscle fatigue and the medical staff didn’t want to take a risk. I agree with them.

Jaissle is excited by González’s potential and believes the midfielder already has plenty to offer his new team. “It will take time [to adapt] and I can not tell you how long it takes but he’s a smart player, he has huge potential and already brings so much quality in the squad. He will adapt fast into our way of playing and then we can enjoy.”
De Zerbi explained the decision before kick-off, telling Sky Sports: “There was bad news yesterday, before training in the afternoon.
