Tottenham injury update: Porro and Bergvall latest

Tottenham injury update remains a major concern despite the start of Igor Tudor’s interim spell, with Spurs stretched once again in the 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Tudor was able to name just 13 fit senior players for the north London derby. Although Dominic Solanke and Richarlison returned from illness to feature off the bench, the wider injury list continues to shape Tottenham’s season.

Here is the latest on Spurs’ sidelined players and potential return timelines.

Pedro Porro has missed five matches with a hamstring problem sustained in the 2-2 draw against Burnley last month.

There had been hope he might return against Arsenal, but he did not feature in the squad. A comeback away at Fulham on 1 March is viewed as more realistic, provided he completes full training in the coming days.

Potential return date: 1 March vs Fulham (A)

Lucas Bergvall underwent ankle surgery after the 2-0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on 20 January.

Encouraging updates from Sweden suggest his rehabilitation is progressing. He is no longer wearing a protective boot and is believed to be targeting a return in approximately six weeks.

That timeline would place him in late March or early April, potentially aligning with Sweden’s World Cup play-off schedule.

Potential return date: Late March / early April 2026

Kevin Danso suffered a torn ligament in his big toe during the Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on 28 January.

He has since missed domestic fixtures against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle. Former head coach Thomas Frank previously indicated it would be “a few weeks” before Danso is available again.

Potential return date: Late February / early March 2026

Destiny Udogie sustained another hamstring injury during the 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on 7 February.

He was ruled out for four to five weeks before Frank’s dismissal, placing his likely return around mid-March if recovery proceeds without complication.

Potential return date: Mid-March 2026

Mohammed Kudus has been out since 4 January with a hamstring issue.

He has reportedly consulted a specialist in Amsterdam and is aiming to return to full training after the March international break.

Potential return date: April 2026

Wilson Odobert faces a lengthy spell out after knee surgery earlier this month and is not expected back until next season.

Dejan Kulusevski continues rehabilitation from a patella injury and remains without a clear timetable, while Rodrigo Bentancur is sidelined following hamstring surgery and is likely to miss most of the remaining campaign.

Ben Davies suffered a broken ankle against West Ham and has undergone a second procedure. His Spurs future is uncertain with his contract expiring at the end of the season.

James Maddison remains unavailable after serious knee surgery during pre-season and is not expected to feature before the summer.

Tottenham travel to Fulham on 1 March in a fixture that could define short-term momentum under Tudor. Recovery of Porro and Danso would offer defensive stability, but the broader injury list remains extensive. However, it remains too early to judge the impact of management change until key players return.

Can Spurs stabilise performances before reinforcements arrive from the treatment room?
