Ange Postecoglou is no closer to having a fully fit squad at his disposal after a setback in his squad. Despite recently welcoming captain Heung-min Son back into the fold, Spurs once again headed into an international break with injury concerns.

” Wilson Odobert is facing an extended spell on the sidelines after hamstring surgery. It was revealed last month that the £25million summer signing suffered a “serious” setback in his recovery and Spurs have now confirmed the next steps. : "We can confirm that Wilson Odobert underwent surgery to his right hamstring yesterday (Saturday, November 16).
"The 19-year-old will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team to determine when he can return to training." It has been an injury-hit campaign for Richarlison thus far and sustained a fresh knock when setting up Dominic Solanke’s second goal against Aston Villa, not long after having come on as a substitute. : “It’s a difficult moment, again.
