Tottenham Hotspur's unfortunate injury saga rumbles on as they gear up for their crucial home encounter against Newcastle United, with two fresh absentees in Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence, alongside a setback for Ben Davies.
The match is set to kick off on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 12:30 PM at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK.
Manager Ange Postecoglou provided the latest update, revealing that Udogie will be sidelined indefinitely due to a hamstring injury. "I think it's a hamstring," Postecoglou stated during a recent press conference. "Once again, we've been heavily dependent on a select group of players, which ultimately took its toll. Unfortunately, Destiny is now feeling the effects of that reliance."
As for Davies, who has been on the mend from a thigh muscle injury, his recovery has faced a hurdle, keeping him out of action until mid-January. "No, he's ruled out," Postecoglou confirmed. "He experienced a setback during training, meaning we likely won't see him for another couple of weeks."
In other news concerning Newcastle, their roster remains unchanged in terms of injuries and fitness levels since the weekend, giving them a consistent squad to draw from as they look to capitalize on Tottenham's misfortunes.
Fans will be keen to see if Spurs can navigate these challenging circumstances and secure a much-needed victory against a resilient Newcastle side.
