Injuries at Tottenham are, unfortunately, a constant issueâso much so that they almost seem like part of the clubâs identity.
For months, Spurs have endured a season filled with highs and lows across competitions, largely due to player injuries, a situation that has not gone unnoticed by the supporters.
However, there is still a glimmer of hope, as some injured players are gradually making their return to the pitch.
One such player is the much-anticipated forward Dominic Solanke, who recently hinted at his imminent comeback in an Instagram post.
Another key returnee for Tottenham is goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who, in his new documentary, revealed that he had undergone a second secret surgery.
Injuries seem to plague key Tottenham players, and according to a specialist, Wilson Odobert is no exception.
Wilson Odobert not yet fit to play a full match
Dr Rajpal Brar, a sports health expert, has stated that Wilson Odobert is highly injury-prone, having been sidelined for nearly four months with a previous issue.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Brar commented on Odobertâs fitness:
"Having been out of action for four months, he is significantly lacking match sharpness."
"He will need bounce minutes and then a run of games to get close to 100 per cent but he may not truly be close to that until next season," he explained.
Brar also noted that Tottenham have been 'gradually ramping up his minutes', but emphasised that Odobert is still not ready to play a full 90 minutes.
He suggested that it may take longer than expected for him to fully regain his fitness.
Tottenham must be patient with Odobert
The 20-year-old Frenchman has immense potential, and while his injury may have set him back, it is clear that once he regains his rhythm, Ange Postecoglou will be able to make full use of his abilities.
Earlier this season, the midfielder missed several key matches for Tottenham, but he may soon be able to contribute, potentially even in the upcoming Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaarâa fixture that, relatively speaking, should be less demanding than others.
So far in the 2024/25 season, Odobert has featured in six matches for Tottenham, playing a total of 248 minutes.
