Destiny Udogie was taken off in Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-2 draw against Wolves after he suffered an injury.

After the contest, Ange Postecoglou confirmed Destiny Udogie had suffered a hamstring injury, bemoaning how Spurs continue to suffer a fitness crisis.

The Tottenham boss said via London Evening Standard: “I think it was a hamstring. Again, like I said, we’ve been relying on a core group of players because we just haven’t had the ability to rotate so at some point it was going to catch up with us. Unfortunately, it caught up with Destiny.”

Micky van de Ven’s hamstring injury worsened, with a reoccurence ruling him for two to three weeks after he played in his side’s 1-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Defenders like Cristian Romero and Ben Davies have also been on the sidelines due to their respective injuries.

Ange Postecoglou, whose Tottenham side sit in 11th place now has another reason to be worried after an update has emerged about Udogie’s injury.

Now, journalist Paul O Keefe has taken to X to reveal that Udogie could be set to miss six to 10 weeks of football for Spurs due to his latest hamstring injury.

Djed Spence, who Tottenham will not sell in January will now be turned to as a replacement for the Italian international.

Spence has impressed Ange Postecoglou and he could partner Pedro Porro to become a part of Spurs’ starting full-back pairing for a while now.
