It has been a season of mixed emotions for Spurs as they remain on the verge of the battle for a place in next season’s Champions League - despite never really finding consistency and suffering some poor defeats during the first four months of the season.
For Ange Postecoglou, the main frustration will be an ongoing injury crisis that continues to rob him of the services of several key players throughout the campaign. For large parts of the season, the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario have all watched on from the sidelines as a depleted Spurs squad have struggled to put together a strong run of form.
A trip to Bournemouth is next on the agenda for the former Celtic manager and his side - but could any of his injury stars return to contention for the visit to the Vitality Stadium?
Wilson Odobert
The summer signing suffered a hamstring injury and underwent surgery earlier this month to rectify the issue. However, there is no set date for a possible return to action and the winger will continue to be monitored by Spurs medical staff. Possible return date: Unknown.
Archie Gray
The former Leeds United midfielder picked up what was confirmed as a dead leg on Sunday and is a doubt for Thursday night’s visit to Bournemouth. Possible return date: Thursday 5th December.
Dominic Solanke
The England striker missed Sunday’s draw with Fulham after suffering an illness after being sent home prior to the game. There is some hope Solanke could return to face his former club on Thursday. Possible return date: Thursday 5th December.
Cristian Romero
The Argentina defender has been out of action for Spurs last two games after suffering a toe injury. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s draw, Postecoglou said of Romero: “Romero is closer but probably unlikely. I'm not ruling him out. He's got to get through a few things today, and then there's a session tomorrow.” The defender missed the game but could return later this week. Possible return date: Thursday 5th December.
Mikey Moore
The academy product is suffering from an illness and Postecoglou has already confirmed he is unlikely to return for another fortnight. Possible return date: Mid-December.
Micky van de Ven
The Dutch international has not appeared since he suffered a hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup win against Manchester City in October. A pre-Christmas return to contention was suggested at the time and that still appears to be the target. Possible return date: Mid-December.
Richarlison
The Brazil star has endured a difficult season and has found his involvement limited to just seven appearances in all competitions. His latest blow came in the 4-1 win against Aston Villa as he suffered a hamstring injury that meant he missed games against Ipswich Town, Manchester City and Fulham. Speaking last month, Postecoglou said: “Richarlison, hopefully, he'll be back in the New Year but, again, similar to Micky (van de Ven), we've got to be careful every step of the way.” Possible return date: Mid-January.
Guglielmo Vicario
The Italian goalkeeper has become an integral part of Postecoglou’s plans since he joined Spurs in the summer of 2023. That is why his recent ankle injury was a major blow for the Australian, who confirmed the stopper would be out for months. He said: “It's not going to be weeks. It'll be months. With surgery, there are certain timelines. I don't like giving timelines so early in the process, as it puts undue pressure on the player... Once he starts getting [on the training pitch], we'll have a clearer idea.” Possible return date: March 2025.
