Tottenham injury update: Gallagher, Romero and Udogie return timelines

Tottenham’s injury crisis shows little sign of easing despite their morale boosting 1-1 draw away to Liverpool.

Igor Tudor’s side earned a valuable point at Anfield thanks to Richarlison’s late equaliser, but Spurs remain stretched by a growing list of unavailable players as they continue their fight to avoid relegation.

Ahead of their upcoming Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, Tottenham could be without several key players. Here is the latest injury news involving Conor Gallagher, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, along with the wider squad situation.

Conor Gallagher was expected to be available for Tottenham’s trip to Liverpool after recovering from illness earlier in the week.

However, the midfielder did not make the matchday squad after reportedly feeling unwell again on the morning of the game.

Gallagher’s absence added to Tottenham’s growing injury list, leaving Tudor without thirteen senior players for the Anfield fixture.

At this stage, it remains unclear whether the England international will recover in time for the upcoming Champions League second leg against Atletico Madrid.

Potential return date: March 18 vs Atletico Madrid

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero was ruled out of the Liverpool clash after suffering a concussion during the previous match against Atletico Madrid.

The Argentine defender was involved in a heavy collision late in the game in Spain and attempted to continue before being forced off by medical staff.

Tudor confirmed ahead of the Liverpool game that Romero would miss the match but suggested there was hope he could return quickly.

Potential return date: March 18 vs Atletico Madrid

Left-back Destiny Udogie has been absent since picking up a hamstring injury during Tottenham’s match against Manchester United in early February.

The Italian defender is now approaching full fitness, with Tudor indicating that his return could come in the near future.

Udogie is expected to be available again for Tottenham’s upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.

Potential return date: March 22 vs Nottingham Forest

Tottenham’s injury problems extend far beyond those three players, with multiple members of the squad still unavailable.

Joao Palhinha and Cristian Romero both suffered head injuries in the defeat against Atletico Madrid, though Palhinha may also be close to returning.

Yves Bissouma’s absence remains unexplained, while Lucas Bergvall continues his recovery following ankle surgery.

Summer signing Mohammed Kudus is not expected to return until after the international break, and Rodrigo Bentancur also faces a longer recovery after undergoing surgery for a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, long-term absentees continue to include Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies and James Maddison.

Tottenham will now prepare for their Champions League last-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid, followed by an important Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest. Igor Tudor will hope several players return soon as Spurs attempt to stabilise their squad during the final months of the season.
