Tottenham injury update: Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall and Kevin Danso latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Spurs’ injury problems remain despite new management

Tottenham suffered no fresh injury blows as they were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal on Igor Tudor’s Premier League bow.

Spurs were spirited in the north London derby but found themselves defeated by the league leaders.

Tudor was able to call upon just 13 players for Sunday’s clash, but his players showed their new interim head coach their fighting spirit despite their defeat.

They were able to welcome back Dominic Solanke from illness and Richarlison, with both coming off the bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Here’s all the latest Tottenham injury news and potential return dates...

Pedro Porro

Pedro Porro has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury in the 2–2 draw with Burnley last month.

The right-back has missed Tottenham Hotspur’s last five matches, but is now approaching a return.

It had been hoped that Porro would be fit to face Arsenal, but the London derby against Fulham seven days later is more realistic after the Spaniard missed out on the matchday squad on Sunday.

Potential return date: March 1 vs Fulham (A)

Lucas Bergvall

Lucas Bergvall has been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery following the 2–0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on January 20.

The midfielder had an operation and Tottenham have not set a firm timetable for his return, though encouraging reports from Sweden last week suggested his recovery is progressing well. He is no longer wearing a protective boot, with his rehabilitation said to be “moving in the right direction.”

It is believed Bergvall could be back on the pitch in around six weeks, leaving him in a race against time to be fit for Sweden’s World Cup play-off against Ukraine at the end of March.

Potential return date: Late March/early April

Kevin Danso

Kevin Danso suffered a torn ligament in his big toe during the 2–0 Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt on January 28.

The defender has since missed matches against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United, with his absence coming at a difficult time for Tottenham, who are also without Cristian Romero through suspension.

Speaking ahead of the Newcastle game, former Spurs boss Thomas Frank confirmed that Dano has spoken with a consultant” but “it will still be a few weeks before he’s available.”

The left-back was hurt during the 2–0 defeat at Old Trafford on February 7 and was ruled out for up to five weeks.

“Unfortunately, Destiny has a hamstring injury and will be out for the next four to five weeks,” said Thomas Frank before his dismissal.

Potential return date: Mid-March

Mohammed Kudus

Mohammed Kudus has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury in the 1–1 draw with Sunderland on January 4.

He was initially ruled out until after the March international break, and reports last week said the winger had travelled to Amsterdam to see a specialist as he works towards a comeback.

Kudus returned there to consult a trusted expert from his time at Ajax and is still targeting a return to full training after the March international break.

Potential return date: April

Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert suffered a serious knee injury against Newcastle earlier in February, and Spurs confirmed he would have surgery.

Odobert is the latest long-term injury problem at Spurs, who said in a statement: “Wilson will see a specialist next week before undergoing surgery, and will then commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff. We're all behind you, Wilson.”

Spurs have not put a timescale on his return, but he will not be back until next season.

Potential return date: Late 2026

Dejan Kulusevski

Dejan Kulusevski has been out since the end of last season with a patella injury.

Reports in Sweden earlier in February claimed Kulusevski is “nowhere near stepping out” on the pitch.

Just before he was sacked, Frank said he was unsure if Kulusevski would play again this season.

“It's a complicated injury where it’s important to make sure there’s no pain in the knee,” said Frank. “That’s why he got an injection and it hopefully will help. So in three to four weeks’ time, he’ll be on the grass pain-free."

Posting on Instagram this month, Kulusevski shared a video of himself in the gym at Hotspur Way going through an intensive set of single-legged squats with his injured right leg.

Potential return date: Unknown

Rodrigo Bentancur

Rodrigo Bentancur was ruled out for three months after undergoing hamstring surgery in mid-January.

It means Bentancur is set to miss the majority of the rest of the season..

Potential return date: Spring 2026

Ben Davies

Ben Davies could have played his last game for Spurs after suffering a broken ankle in the 2-1 defeat to West Ham last month.

Davies has under a second operation and is a doubt for the World Cup should Wales qualify.

The left-sided defender has been at Spurs for 12 years, playing 448 games, but is out of contract at the end of the season.

Potential return date: Unknown

James Maddison

James Maddison has been sidelined since suffering a serious knee injury in pre-season.

He has since undergone surgery but is not expected to feature for Spurs this season.
