Destiny Udogie injury: 10 games he could miss for Tottenham

The hamstring injury suffered by Tottenham Hotspur’s left-back Destiny Udogie could not have come at a worse time for the North London club, with the full-back now ruled out for six-ten weeks, let’s find out the games he is set to miss.

Destiny Udogie’s injury adds to Tottenham’s woes

Tottenham Hotspur’s left-back, Destiny Udogie, has been ruled out for an extended spell after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The incident occurred early in the second half, forcing Udogie to leave the pitch in the 50th minute. The initial diagnosis has estimated that the 22-year-old will be sidelined for six to ten weeks, a development that significantly disrupts Ange Postecoglou’s defensive plans.

With Udogie out of action, Tottenham’s already limited full-back options have been stretched thin.

The absence of the Italian defender places a heavy burden on Pedro Porro and Djed Spence, the only fully fit senior full-backs remaining at Postecoglou’s disposal.

With the estimated return date being between 6-10 weeks, the defender is expected to sit out up to ten matches if his recovery takes the maximum estimated time.

These include critical Premier League fixtures, Europa League games, the semi-final Carabao clash and the FA Cup.

A detailed breakdown of the matches Udogie is likely to miss reveals the uphill battle awaiting Tottenham:

Competition	Match	Date
Premier League	Newcastle United	January 4
Carabao Cup	Semi-final first leg: Liverpool	January 8
FA Cup	Tamworth	January 12
Premier League	Arsenal	January 15
Premier League	Everton	January 19
Europa League	Hoffenheim	January 23
Premier League	Leicester City	January 26
Europa League	IF Elfsborg	January 30
Premier League	Brentford	February 2
Carabao Cup	Second leg: Liverpool	February 6

What this means for Tottenham moving forward

The full-back’s absence has left Tottenham with just two fully fit full-backs, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence, a situation that poses significant challenges for Ange Postecoglou as the fixtures pile up.

Given the gravity of the situation, Tottenham must act decisively during the January transfer window. The Lilywhites have been linked with potential signings such as Patrick Dorgu and Tyrick Mitchell, both of whom could provide the necessary depth and quality to cover for Udogie’s absence.

As Postecoglou looks to maintain Tottenham’s competitive edge, bolstering the full-back positions has become an urgent priority.
