Wolves vs Tottenham early injury news as 7 players ruled out

Tottenham now turn their attention to a Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday after their home draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Spurs came from behind to set up a fascinating second leg in Germany, with Pedro Porro scoring with a clever finish.

Ange Postecoglou’s men will be looking to keep up momentum against a struggling Wolves side this weekend, but some players may already be looking ahead to next week’s second leg, given the Europa League is the club’s only remaining avenue to Europe. Postecoglou has warned against that, and he will want to see his men playing for him in all competitions, especially given the clear pressure he is facing after such a disappointing campaign.

Wolves look to be safe from the drop, currently 12 points ahead of Ipswich Town in the final relegation spot, but they will want another win or two to make sure they are mathematically safe sooner rather than later. That added motivation will make them a dangerous outfit this weekend, especially playing at home.

Here we round up the early injury news surrounding both sides heading into this one.

Radu Dragusin - Out

Dragusin is out for the season with an ACL rupture. Postecoglou confirmed at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”

Dejan Kulusevski - Out

Kulusevski is not likely to return until next week at the earliest as he battles his way back from an ankle injury. Postecoglou said after the Frankfurt game: “The idea with Deki and Kevin Danso is they're due to start training with the team tomorrow or early next week.”

Kevin Danso - Out

Danso has a hamstring injury, and it seems he is on a similar timeline to Kulusevski, as detailed above.

Leon Chiwome - Out

Chiwome is going to be out for much of the calendar year. Vitor Pereira has said: “Devastated to say that I've ruptured my ACL, and it will bring my season to an end just after coming back from injury.”

Yerson Mosquera - Out

Mosquera also has a serious knee injury and will be out until the summer. Former boss Gary O’Neill said at the time: “It’s really early days, and I don’t want to put a definitive time scale on it, but everything went very well with the surgery. Over the next days and weeks, we’ll start to really map out what the rehab looks like.”

Enso Medina - Out

It’s a similar situation with Medina, albeit a couple of months difference, with O’Neill saying at the time: “He's beginning his strength phase. He's a few months ahead of Yerson. He responded really well to the initial surgery and is back in the gym working hard, so he's right on track with where we'd expect him to be.” Medina will be out until the summer.

Kalajdzic has been out with a long-term knee issue and his return date is unclear.
