Tottenham are dealing with a growing list of fitness concerns ahead of the north London derby.<\/p>\n
Spurs travel to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, and Thomas Frank has been hit with two new injury worries during the international break. Pape Matar Sarr came off while playing for Senegal, and Lucas Bergvall withdrew from Sweden duty. Mohammed Kudus was already unavailable before the break, and Randal Kolo Muani has since suffered a jaw injury.<\/p>\n
Here is the latest on Tottenham\u2019s injury situation:<\/p>\n
Mohammed Kudus
\nKudus missed the matches against Copenhagen and Manchester United before the break due to what Frank described as \u201ca knock.\u201d After being ruled out of the Champions League victory, he was again unable to face United despite being \u201ctouch and go.\u201d He was omitted from the Ghana squad, though Frank expressed confidence that he \u201cshould be available for the next one.\u201d The \u00a355m summer signing has been training at Hotspur Way and is expected to return for the Arsenal clash.
\nPotential return date: November 23 vs Arsenal (A)<\/p>\n
Lucas Bergvall
\nBergvall has been unavailable since suffering a concussion against Chelsea on November 1. He was taken off after seven minutes in the 1-0 defeat and later missed games against Copenhagen and United. Although he initially joined the Sweden squad, he left early after a setback during testing. The Swedish FA confirmed that he reacted poorly during full-speed work and was withdrawn as a precaution.
\nPotential return date: November<\/p>\n
Pape Matar Sarr
\nSarr added to Spurs\u2019 concerns after being substituted in the first half for Senegal following a heavy challenge in their defeat to Brazil at the Emirates. Senegal manager Pape Thiaw said he \u201cdidn\u2019t feel well\u201d after the impact but suggested it may not be serious. Spurs will assess him this week.
\nPotential return date: Unknown<\/p>\n
Dominic Solanke
\nSolanke has been out since picking up an ankle injury in pre-season. Frank said the international break would play a key role in his recovery, but his exact return date remains unclear.
\nPotential return date: Unknown<\/p>\n
Randal Kolo Muani
\nKolo Muani has struggled with fitness issues since joining on loan from PSG and is now sidelined with a jaw injury, ruling him out of France\u2019s November fixtures. Though surgery is not required, he could still miss six to eight weeks, with no confirmed timeline yet.
\nPotential recovery potential date unknown.<\/p>\n
Archie Gray
\nGray has missed three games since sustaining a calf injury in training in late October. He is expected to be out for around a month, but no official return date has been provided.
\nPotential return date: December<\/p>\n
Radu Dragusin
\nDragusin\u2019s ACL recovery has progressed well, and he featured for 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Leyton Orient\u2014his first action since January. He didn\u2019t feature for Romania during the break, but Spurs hope to reintegrate him into the first team soon.
\nPotential return date: November 23 vs Arsenal (A)<\/p>\n
Dejan Kulusevski
\nKulusevski is nearing a comeback after months out with a patella injury requiring surgery. A video shared by Destiny Udogie showed him back on the grass during the break, and Frank believes he has a good chance of returning before the new year.<\/p>\n
Kota Takai
\nThe young defender has yet to make his debut since joining from Kawasaki Frontale due to a quad injury. Frank recently confirmed he is close to resuming full training.
\nPotential return date: Late November\/December<\/p>\n
Ben Davies
\nDavies looked set for a return after being called up by Wales but was forced to withdraw with a hamstring issue, the same problem that has sidelined him since October. Frank originally estimated a four-to-five-week absence, though no recent update has been given.
\nPotential return date: Late November\/December<\/p>\n
Yves Bissouma
\nBissouma has not played this season. After missing the Super Cup for disciplinary reasons, he suffered an injury, briefly recovered to play for Mali in October, then was hurt again moments after coming on. He has since undergone ankle ligament surgery and is continuing his rehabilitation.
\nPotential return date: Unknown<\/p>\n
James Maddison
\nMaddison is expected to miss the majority of the campaign following surgery on a torn ACL suffered during pre-season against Newcastle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
