Report: Bad news for Tottenham and Destiny Udogie amid injury recovery
Destiny Udogie underwent surgery late last season, and Spurs fans should not expect to see the Italian back in action just yet.
Udogie won’t play against Hearts
Tottenham players are back in training now as pre-season gets underway, and they have a friendly coming up against Scottish side, Hearts, this week. But, sadly, Udogie will not be playing a part in that game.
That’s according to a report from Football.London detailing all the players likely to be involved in the behind-closed-doors friendly, in which there is an update on Udogie’s current condition.
The report states Udogie is “not expected to be fit” enough to take part in the friendly against Hearts on Wednesday.
Instead, the full-back will “continue his rehabilitation” and will likely have to sit this one out. Whether Udogie is ready for Tottenham’s next game, the friendly against QPR on Saturday, remains to be seen.
Udogie received surgery on his left quadriceps after picking up an injury at the end of April, and was unable to feature in Spurs’ final games of the season, and also missed out on Euro 2024 with Italy.
How bad is Udogie’s situation?
Speaking to Tottenham News shortly after Udogie’s surgery, injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar cast uncertainty over Udogie’s path to recovery, stating the young defender could end up training alone for quite some time.
Udogie enjoyed a brilliant first season in the Premier League, registering two goals and three assists across 30 appearances for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt).
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no need to rush Udogie back, especially just for a behind-closed-doors friendly.
He’ll be back when he’s ready, and I’m sure he will be playing at top level again once the season begins properly in August.
Hopefully, he can do even better this season now he’s got that experience under his belt.
