Spurs dealing with mounting crisis after a horrific run of luck
Jonathan Gorrie13 November 2023

Tottenham endured a bruising week heading into the last international break of the year.

After an excellent start to the season under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have been hit with a number of big injury blows.

Both James Maddison and Micky van de Ven were injured during the 4-1 loss to Chelsea last week, while Richarlison has also undergone surgery on a groin issue.

With the problems mounting, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injuries.

Destiny Udogie

Destiny Udogie was a doubt for the Chelsea game he was eventually sent off in. On Monday, Italy manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed the defender had not linked up with his squad due to a muscle injury.

Potential return date: Unknown

Richarlison

Spurs have confirmed the Brazilian went under the knife to fix a groin issue and will return to training “in the coming weeks”.

"We can confirm that Richarlison has undergone groin surgery today,” read a club statement last week.

"The Brazil international will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately, before returning to training in the coming weeks."

Potential return date: Unknown

James Maddison

England international James Maddison has vowed to come back “better and stronger” following an ankle injury sustained against Chelsea.

He is expected to return in January.

"Madders is a lot worse than we first thought, it was bad the next day. Again into the New Year with him”, the Spurs boss admitted last week.

Potential return date: January 2024

Micky van de Ven

When it rains, it pours for Tottenham.

Micky van de Ven has enjoyed a fantastic start to life at the club but suffered a hamstring injury during the defeat to the Blues.

Like Maddison, he is expected back in the New Year.

"There's a fair bit happened after Monday night,” added Postecoglou.

“Micky with a hamstring injury [which] we knew was fairly significant. We're looking at a couple of months [out] into the new year.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Ryan Sessegnon

Ryan Sessegnon has only just returned to light training after hamstring surgery during the summer.

Postecoglou said last month: "Sess is still a fair bit of time away; he's longer-term."

Potential return date: December 2023

Manor Solomon

Forward Manor Solomon had surgery on a knee issue picked up in training and is expected back in December.

Potential return date: December 2023

Ivan Perisic

Ivan Perisic seems unlikely to play for Spurs again after he sustained a long-term injury before the season started.

Potential return date: Summer 2024
