Team news | Udogie faces lengthy spell out | Tottenham Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou reports that Destiny Udogie is expected to be out for six weeks with his recent hamstring injury.

Not only is Udogie out for six weeks, but there's a bug going through the squad that'll probably deplete it further.

Hopefully the bug won't mess you up too bad....Havertz is the only one who got it for us and missed the match....Thankfully. Declan Rice played through the illness (albeit only a 20 minute cameo near the end)
 
Side note: 17 year old Ethan Nwaneri was brilliant in his start Wednesday in place of Saka.....Even tho we still need someone to come in, because him being great for 3 months (or more probably) is a big ask for a 17 year old especially when we have CL knockout rounds coming soon, I am genuinely impressed with him.

Also Myles Lewis-Skelly is rumored to be getting a contract offer from Arsenal and will be invited to England National Team duty for 2026 WC (i assume as a backup for Lewis Hall). Our academy is thriving!

So long as anyone who is sick is not part of the backline. But it's Spurs, so our backline against Newcastle is gonna probably be Reguilon-Dorrington-Bissouma-Spence or something with Austin in goal

Is Porro out again?

I may have to bet on Newcastle tomorrow lol

No, but he's been a shadow of himself for like a month because he hasn't had anyone to cover. Our backup RB (Spence) was hurt for a while, and our other backup RB (Gray) has been filling in at CB. Shit is so dire in terms of depth right now. I saw on reddit that Ben Davies was on pace for like 50 full 90 minute games this calendar year for club and country and he is exclusively a depth piece.

2026 is a long long way away to be making those sort of predictions!

I'm just going by what the people are saying!! Some guy from the Daily Mail says he will be part of the England U-21 this year but coaches for the 3 lions already view him as a full international (whatever that last part means, idk but I assumed it to be good)

Yeah he probably should be fast tracked to the u21 and given there’s a real lack of depth I could see people thinking he may be a potential future full international. But at this stage of his career 6 months is a long time, never mind 18!

I think we're just screwed for the bulk of the month. Davies, Van de Ven, Romero, Moore and Richarlison should all be coming back in the second half of the month, but there are lots of players who have to be basically run into the ground in the games prior. Sarr and Maddison are out for the LFC game so even though we get Bentancur back (and Spence) we lose those two. FA Cup game and the Europa game should both allow for some rotation but it's just BRUTAL right now.

I have a feeling things are gonna get real ugly after the (likely) loss to Arsenal. It would be so short-sighted to sack a manager who is being crippled by these injury problems, but I wouldn't put it past Levy if fans go nuts.

I think they need to postpone the match



Austin

Porro / Dorrington / Bissouma / Spence

Sarr / Kulusevski / Bergvall

Johnson / Solanke / Son


It's going to be a bloodbath. Idk how that midfield lines up or throw Reguilon in there somewhere instead of Bergvall
