Tottenham have a number of injury concerns ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace, with a few fresh updates on some stars.
Tottenham‘s injury troubles have taken a slight twist in recent days as they prepare to take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The Lilywhites have had some respite from their usual fixture schedule, as their clash with rivals Chelsea was rearranged.
It means Ange Postecoglou has had two weeks between games to further instil his philosophy into the squad. It has also meant some extra recovery time for those that are missing through injury, allowing them to near a return.
The clash with the Eagles will offer Spurs the chance to keep in touch with fourth, though it will be far from an easy ride. New boss Oliver Glasner will be guiding Palace, following their 3-0 win over Burnley last time out.
With that said, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injury news ahead of the London derby match with Crystal Palace.
Tottenham injury list
Tottenham have a few players that will miss the clash with Crystal Palace due to injury. Manor Solomon, Fraser Forster and Ryan Sessegnon are ruled out with long-term issues that will see them return at a later date.
Meanwhile, there will be hope that full-back duo Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro will be available for the big match.
Pedro Porro injury latest
Pedro Porro has been a crucial part of the team so far this season and was a huge miss for Tottenham when he was unavailable to face Wolves. The full-back picked up a muscle strain in training that kept him out of action.
“Probably a couple of weeks for him [Porro],” Postecoglou said when giving an update on the defender. “With the game break hopefully, he doesn’t miss too many.” There will be some hope that it means a return to face Crystal Palace.
