AS Monaco vs Tottenham injury update: seven players ruled out and two doubtful ahead of Champions League showdown
Tottenham return to Champions League action on Wednesday as they aim to build on a steady start to their European campaign. Spurs opened with a win over Villarreal but were held to a draw away at Bodo/Glimt.
On Wednesday night, they travel to face Monaco, a side with just one point from their first two group-stage matches. The French club have been hit hard by injuries early in the season — a situation Tottenham are all too familiar with from last year.
Below is a summary of the latest injury updates for both teams. Players not registered for the Champions League are excluded from the count, as they are ineligible to feature.
AS Monaco
Vanderson – Out
Ruled out until November with a hamstring injury.
Christian Mawissa – Out
Sidelined due to a hamstring problem.
Denis Zakaria – Out
Recovering from a leg fracture, expected to return in the coming weeks.
Lukas Hradecky – Out
The goalkeeper will miss a couple more weeks with a knee issue.
Paul Pogba – Out
Absent until early November with a thigh injury.
Tottenham Hotspur
Cristian Romero – Doubt
Suffering from a minor adductor issue. Thomas Frank said: “It’s a small problem — he could be available, but I’m not sure yet.”
Destiny Udogie – Fit
Recovered from a minor knee irritation picked up during international duty.
Dominic Solanke – Out
Continuing recovery after surgery, expected back in early November.
Dejan Kulusevski – Out (Not UCL eligible)
Out until late November as he continues rehabilitation. Thomas Frank previously said: “He’s a key player for us. I just want him back as soon as possible — he’s working very hard with the medical team.”
