Ange Postecoglou reveals when Destiny Udogie could return for Tottenham

Destiny Udogie has been out of action for the last couple of months after undergoing surgery, but Ange Postecoglou has some positive news about when the young full-back is expected to return to the pitch.

Destiny could face Bayern Munich

The Italian decided to have surgery on his left quadriceps in April, meaning he missed the end of Tottenham‘s campaign and was unable to take part in Euro 2024 with his country.

Udogie has missed all of Spurs’ friendlies so far in pre-season, but was included in Postecoglou‘s tour squad for the trip to Japan and South Korea, though, suggesting a return would be close.

Now, Postecoglou has been speaking to SpursPlay after the win over K-League all-stars to discuss the situation surrounding Udogie’s rehabilitation, and suggested the player will be available very soon.

He said: “Hopefully Destiny comes back into it in the next few days, so that’s positive.”

That puts Udogie in line for a return against Bayern Munich when the two sides meet on Saturday, August 3. At the very least, he should be ready for the second friendly against the Germans a week later.

Udogie will complete the backline

Spurs have been using Jamie Donley at left-back so far through pre-season, with Ben Davies also operating in his former position at times.

With Udogie on his way back, and the return of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven after their extended break also coming up, the Tottenham backline will be back to its best.

Spurs Web Opinion

I think we really missed Udogie in those final stages of the season, as he provides a lot of balance with Pedro Porro on the right-hand side.

He’s one of our most exciting and creative players, and I can’t wait to see him back in action.
