“Spurs Injury Roundup: Updates on Romero, Van de Ven, Odobert, Richarlison & Return Timelines”
“Tottenham Injury Report: Latest on Romero, Van de Ven, Odobert, Richarlison and Expected Return Dates”
Injuries are piling up for Tottenham as the team faces increasing challenges ahead of the Premier League’s return. Adding to the setback, Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a lengthy suspension, sidelining him for the next seven domestic matches, though Spurs have appealed the decision.
This leaves manager Ange Postecoglou still far from having a fully fit squad, with new concerns surrounding vice-captain Cristian Romero and confirmation that Wilson Odobert will miss a significant period following surgery.
Here’s the latest update on Spurs’ injury situation and expected return dates:
Cristian Romero
The Argentine defender was substituted at halftime during Argentina’s loss to Paraguay, with reports suggesting a possible recurrence of the foot injury he suffered against Aston Villa. His availability for the upcoming clash against Manchester City remains uncertain.
Potential return date: Unknown
Micky van de Ven
The Dutch center-back, who exited the pitch in tears during the Carabao Cup victory over Manchester City, has avoided a severe injury. According to Postecoglou, Van de Ven strained his hamstring and should return after the international break, though the match at the Etihad might come too soon.
Potential return date: Early December 2024
Wilson Odobert
Wilson Odobert faces a prolonged absence after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring. Spurs confirmed that the £25 million summer signing experienced a major setback in recovery and will be monitored closely by the medical team to determine his return timeline.
Potential return date: Unknown
Richarlison
Richarlison’s injury-plagued season continued after sustaining another knock while assisting a goal against Aston Villa shortly after coming on as a substitute. Expressing his frustration on social media, he shared:
“It’s a difficult moment, again. I was very happy working hard and playing, but now I am injured again. It’s difficult to say what I’m feeling… I just pray for protection and a quick recovery.”
Potential return date: December 2024
Stay tuned for more updates as Tottenham navigates this challenging period.
