This clash marks the first of five pre-season fixtures for Spurs, a schedule that takes the team from Reading to Luton, then all the way to Hong Kong for a historic North London Derby against Arsenal outside the UK. From there, they head to Seoul to face Newcastle and finally to Munich to take on FC Bayern. It's a packed itinerary designed not just for fitness, but to test the squad’s adaptability and build chemistry.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing on the team news front. Dejan Kulusevski, unfortunately, won’t be part of the pre-season squad. After undergoing knee surgery in May, he remains sidelined with no confirmed return date. Thomas Frank confirmed that Kulusevski is set to miss the start of the Premier League season as well, with Spurs opening against Burnley on August 16. Alongside him, Radu Dragusin is still recovering, while James Maddison has only just returned to partial training.
In response to last season’s injury woes, Spurs have taken decisive steps to overhaul their medical setup. New appointments such as Nick Stubbings and Tom Perryman are part of a revamped backroom team tasked with reducing injuries and managing player workloads better this time around. Frank has been open about learning from the past while implementing new ideas—rotation, rest, and smarter decision-making will be crucial.
So, if you're a Spurs supporter looking for signs of progress and a sneak peek at how Thomas Frank plans to shape the team, Saturday’s game is unmissable. Subscribe to SPURSPLAY, grab your scarf, and get ready—it all begins at Reading.
