Tottenham injury update: Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence latest news and return dates

Ange Postecoglou has just two injury concerns following Tottenham’s 4-1 comeback win over West Ham.

The Spurs boss will be delighted with the response from his side in the Premier League after they capitulated to lose 3-2 at Brighton before the international break.

And there was good news on the injury front for Tottenham too, with captain Heung-min Son making a goal-scoring return after missing three games with a hamstring issue.

Richarlison also made a late cameo in the London derby after recovering from a calf problem, while Lucas Bergvall was fit enough to make the bench after a knock picked up with Sweden but wasn’t used.

Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence are the only players currently sidelined for Spurs ahead of games against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday and Crystal Palace next weekend.

Here is all the latest Tottenham injury news and return dates...

Djed Spence

Despite limited first-team appearances during his time in north London, Spence recently signed a new contract at Spurs but suffered a groin strain in training last week.

After the West Ham win, Postecoglou said: “He picked up a bit of a groin strain in training. Hopefully nothing too bad, but he missed out today.”

Tottenham are currently assessing the right-back and have yet to give any details on when he could return, but the injury is hoped to be minor.

Wilson Odobert

Spurs’ £25million summer signing Odobert was forced off in the first half of their dramatic late 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Coventry last month with a hamstring injury.

The former Burnley winger has made good progress over recent weeks and Postecoglou confirmed before the West Ham win that he should be back in first-team training this week.

"Really, it's only Wilson, who has done some good work in the last couple of weeks, and hopefully joins the main group at some point next week,” Postecoglou said on Thursday.
