Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Wilson Odobert, the promising young winger, has undergone surgery on his right hamstring after a series of injury setbacks.
Injury woes for Odobert
Wilson Odobert’s journey with Tottenham has been marred by unfortunate injuries, and his latest setback has left fans concerned about the future of the talented 19-year-old.
His hamstring issues first emerged shortly after his summer arrival at Spurs, with the winger sidelined for nearly a month.
The initial injury raised doubts about his ability to make an immediate impact, but after a period of rehabilitation, he made his return in Tottenham’s Europa League fixture against AZ Alkmaar.
However, Odobert’s comeback was short-lived. Despite his enthusiasm to contribute, he suffered a recurrence of the same hamstring injury during the match, dashing any hopes of a prolonged stint in the first team.
Fans were left frustrated by the interruption to his development, especially given the high expectations surrounding the French youth international.
This latest chapter in Odobert’s injury saga came to light yesterday through his own Instagram account, where the winger posted a photo of himself in a London hospital bed.

Surgery confirmed and next steps
Tottenham confirmed Odobert’s surgery with a statement on the official website: “Copied to clipboard” We can confirm that Wilson Odobert underwent surgery to his right hamstring yesterday (Saturday 16 November).
“The 19-year-old will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team to determine when he can return to training.
The announcement brought clarity to the situation, but also added a layer of concern as fans are now left to wait for further updates on his recovery timeline.
What’s next for Odobert?
Odobert’s injury story has been one of frustration. After initially sidelining him for nearly a month, the recurrence of the issue after his brief return to action against AZ Alkmaar only adds to the sense of misfortune surrounding his Spurs career.
While surgery offers the hope of a thorough recovery, it also raises the possibility of a longer spell on the sidelines.
Despite the setbacks, the young French winger has shown promise during his limited appearances, and Tottenham will be hoping that this surgery will provide a definitive solution to his hamstring issues.
The club’s medical team will play a pivotal role in ensuring that Odobert can return to full fitness and fulfil his potential at Spurs.
