Tottenham injury latest amid 9 injury concerns for relegation run-in
A look at Tottenham’s current injury situation as they prepare for the final stretch.
Tottenham are preparing for the fight of their lives having gone into the international break on the back of a crushing defeat to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.
Spurs are just one point ahead of the relegation zone, and West Ham below them face bottom club Wolves next up, so there will be nerves aplenty about the current situation. Ahead of club football returning next week, we have rounded up the latest Tottenham injury news.
Mathys Tel
Tel should be back after the international break.
Gugliemo Vicario
Vicario is out for around a month. Tudor has said: “The minor procedure has been timed to have as minimal an impact on our season as possible... Guglielmo will commence his rehab with our medical staff immediately, and it is hoped that he could return to action within the next month.”
Yves Bissouma
Bissouma has been struggling with a muscular injury and it is unclear when he will return.
Wilson Odobert
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.”
Ben Davies
Davies has undergone ankle surgery and will be absent until some time in April.
Rodrigo Bentancur
Bentancur is working to return after weeks out. He has been working with the ball and will either be back after the break or withing a week or so of the return.
Mohammed Kudus
It’s a similar situation with Kudus. Tudor has said: “So, we have three weeks after the game on Sunday. I don’t know. Probably some part of the things with the squad, maybe 10 days. I don’t know, I’m not sure. We need to check, but he is progressing very well, already a little bit with the ball.”
Dejan Kulusevski
There is still no news of when Kulusevski will return, with the forward having struggled all season with a serious injury.
James Maddison
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.”
