Tottenham injury update: James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Micky van de Ven latest news and return dates
Tottenham remain without several key players going into this weekend’s game against Everton.
Tottenham under Ange Postecoglou is still impressive in spite of their chronic injury issues and bans. They defeated Nottingham Forest last Friday, but it wasn’t without a cost: midfielder Yves Bissouma was sent off for a careless challenge on Ryan Yates in the second half.
Due to suspension, Italian defender Destiny Udogie, one of the Lilywhites’ best players this season, will not play against Everton this weekend, leaving Australian manager Postecoglou with little options. Despite having a number of injured players, they are improving on the pitch as seen by their consecutive victories, which have put them in fifth place, one point behind Manchester City in fourth.
With nearly their entire roster, Tottenham was undefeated in their first ten league games. However, injuries to players like James Maddison and Micky van de Ven have undoubtedly affected their play. Before victories over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, Pape Matar Sarr’s injury and Cristian Romero’s return from suspension undoubtedly contributed to the team’s ability to earn a point against Manchester City.
Having a full week to prepare for the league game this Saturday, being eliminated from the League Cup early may perhaps be a blessing in disguise.
At their best and in full health, Spurs have blown teams away this season. While they are not without their quality right now, recovering some key players feels crucial in getting them back into the Champions League. With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injuries.
