Tottenham Hotspur may be showing signs of improvement under Roberto De Zerbi, but injuries continue to cause headaches for the Spurs boss.
Despite their impressive victory over Chelsea, Tottenham suffered a potential setback as James Maddison reportedly picked up a groin problem. Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Brazilian winger Savio is recovering from a muscular issue.
With several key players unavailable, Spurs will be hoping for positive news from the medical team in the coming weeks.
Here is the latest injury news and the expected return dates for Tottenham’s injured stars.
🔴 James Maddison
Maddison’s fitness has become a fresh concern after he was forced off during Tottenham’s win over Chelsea.
The midfielder had recently returned to the starting lineup and was making his second start in six days when he appeared to experience discomfort shortly after half-time. Following a brief discussion with his teammates, he was replaced by Conor Gallagher.
Maddison will undergo further medical examinations to determine the severity of the suspected groin injury.
Expected return: Not yet confirmed.
🔴 Destiny Udogie
Tottenham are still waiting for Udogie to recover from his knee problem.
The Italian defender has missed the recent fixtures against Coventry City and Chelsea after suffering the injury during the draw with Manchester United.
De Zerbi has revealed that the 23-year-old is still experiencing discomfort and has yet to return to training. The club is taking a cautious approach to avoid making the problem worse.
Expected return: November 2026.
🔴 Tosin Adarabioyo
Tosin Adarabioyo is another player being monitored after reportedly suffering a calf injury.
The centre-back had recently made his first Premier League start of the season and impressed before the issue disrupted his progress. Despite initial optimism about the injury, he missed Tottenham’s match against Chelsea.
Further assessments will determine when he can return.
Expected return: October 31, 2026, against Crystal Palace.
🔴 Lucas Bergvall
Bergvall is expected to be out for a shorter period after picking up a knee problem against Manchester United.
The young midfielder managed to finish the match but experienced pain afterwards and was examined by Tottenham’s medical staff.
De Zerbi suggested that the Swedish youngster could need around two weeks to recover, potentially putting him in contention for the Crystal Palace game.
Expected return: October 31, 2026, against Crystal Palace.
🔴 Savio
Tottenham will have to wait several weeks before Savio is expected to return from his muscular injury.
The Brazilian winger picked up the problem shortly before the squad travelled to Marbella, forcing him to miss recent matches.
De Zerbi has confirmed that the summer signing will be unavailable for a number of weeks, although an exact comeback date has not been established.
Spurs will hope to have him back as soon as possible, but his return will depend on how well his rehabilitation progresses.
Expected return: November 21, 2026, against Ipswich Town.
🔴 Mykhailo Mudryk
Mudryk’s start to life at Tottenham has been disrupted by an ankle injury sustained after his loan arrival.
The winger has made just one appearance for Spurs before being ruled out, with initial reports suggesting a recovery period of six to eight weeks.
There has been little information about his latest progress, leaving uncertainty over when he will be available again.
Expected return: November 21, 2026, against Ipswich Town, according to the report.
🔴 Wilson Odobert
Odobert remains on the road to recovery after suffering a serious knee injury earlier this year.
The winger tore his left anterior cruciate ligament during Tottenham’s defeat to Newcastle in February and subsequently underwent surgery.
He has continued his rehabilitation at the club’s training ground, with reports indicating that his progress has been encouraging. However, Tottenham will not rush his comeback.
Expected return: December 2026.
🔴 Xavi Simons
Simons is facing a lengthy spell out after suffering an ACL injury during Tottenham’s match against Wolves in April.
The midfielder underwent surgery and was subsequently ruled out of the Netherlands’ World Cup campaign.
He has continued working towards his recovery and recently shared footage of himself doing ball work, offering some encouragement to Spurs supporters.
Despite those positive signs, he is not expected to return to competitive football until next year.
Expected return: January 2027.
⚪ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM?
De Zerbi must carefully manage Tottenham’s growing injury concerns as the club looks to maintain its recent improvement.
Maddison’s latest setback is particularly frustrating, while the continued absence of Udogie and Savio leaves the manager with fewer options.
However, the possible returns of Tosin Adarabioyo and Lucas Bergvall could provide a timely boost ahead of the Crystal Palace fixture.
For now, Spurs will be hoping their medical team can help the injured players recover safely and strengthen the squad in the weeks ahead.
Tottenham fans, which injured player are you most desperate to see back in action? 👀🤍💙
