Teenager Odobert joined for £25milllion from Burnley last month, but after plenty of game time early on in his Spurs career, lasted just 18 minutes of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win at Coventry after picking up a hamstring injury.

Bissouma has not played for Spurs since picking up an injury with Mali during the recent international break, while Werner was forced off late against Coventry with a knock.

“Wilson, it doesn’t look good”, said Postecoglou at his pre-Brentford press conference on Friday. “It’s his hamstring. We’re still waiting for it to settle down with all the information, but he’ll definitely be out for the next period.

“Bissouma trained today so should be available for tomorrow. Timo recovered okay.”

The Tottenham head coach also gave a more pessimistic update on Brazilian forward Richarlison, who has a calf injury.

The Australian said: “He’s a fair way off. I think you should stop asking me about him until I say I’ve got an update. He’s still not training with the first team.”

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur; Johnson, Maddison, Son; Solanke

Injured: Richarlison, Odobert

Date and time: 3pm BST on Saturday September 21, 2024
