Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid early injury news as 13 ruled out and 3 doubts

Tottenham are back in Champions League action on Wednesday when they welcome Atletico Madrid for their Round of 16 second leg. Spurs are three goals down in the tie and needing a near miracle to get back to level terms, especially when considering their recent form and injury list.

Though, the weekend’s draw with Liverpool will have instilled some confidence, and Spurs have to at least believe they can turn this around. Atletico come into this one after narrowly edging Getafe over the weekend. Here we round up all the early injury news surrounding both sides.

Rodrigo Mendoza - Out

Mendoza is out until some time in April with a sprained ankle.

Ilias Kostis - Out

Kostis is out for the season with a ruptured ACL.

Jan Oblak - Out

Oblak is out with a muscular injury and will remain out until close to the end of the month.

Pablo Barrios - Out

Barrios has picked up a muscular injury that will keep him out until some time in April.

Cristian Romero - Doubt

Tudor has said: “No, they (Romero and Palhinha) are out. I don't know how much - I think they will be back for sure for Forest, maybe even for the UCL, I don't know exactly.”

Joao Palhinha - Doubt

The same update was offered of Palhinha.

Destiny Udogie - Doubt

Tudor hasn’t ruled out a return here, but the Forest game is more likely. He said: “Destiny is almost back... Yeah, for sure [Forest].”

Conor Gallagher - Fit

Gallagher is expected to return from illness here.

Yves Bissouma - Out

Bissouma missed the Liverpool game with a muscular injury and will almost certainly remail out here.

Richarlison - Out (Suspended)

Richarlison has reached the yellow card limit and will be suspended for this game.

Wilson Odobert - Out

Odobert is out for the season. It has been confirmed: “We can confirm that Wilson Odobert has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee... Wilson will see a specialist next week before undergoing surgery, and will then commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff.”

Lucas Bergvall - Out

Frank said before his departure: “Unfortunately, Lucas picked up an ankle injury, so we keep being very unlucky with injuries, and it looks like it could be a longer one. He's been assessed over these two days, so [in terms of a return] timeframe, I'll know more about the next couple of days.” Bergvall is expected to be out until around mid-April.

Ben Davies - Out

Davies has undergone ankle surgery and will be absent until some time in April.

Rodrigo Bentancur - Out

Bentancur has undergone surgery on his right hamstring and he will be absent until at least after the March international break.

Mohammed Kudus - Out

Kudus has been ruled out for months with a hamstring issue. Frank confirmed: “Mohammed, unfortunately, is a bigger one to the tendon in the quad. That is one where we expect him back after the March international break.”

Dejan Kulusevski - Out

Tudor said recently: “He's had really big problems as you know, but he's positive and also the doctors are positive, so we'll see next week how he’s going. We hope [he can play this season]. In this moment, we don't know.”

James Maddison - Out

Maddison is out for much - if not all - of the season with a knee injury. Frank said in December: “It's very early stages. It's still a long-term injury, so it's good to see him out there, but very early stages. There's no specific time frame. It will be a long time, unfortunately, before he's available.”
