Tottenham and Leeds final injury update, 10 out and three doubtful as key men return | OneFootball

Leeds United visit Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night with both camps hit by late injury setbacks, 10 players ruled out and three more doubtful, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk. Despite some key returns, selection problems remain for this crucial meeting.

Leeds might be mathematically safe by kick-off on Monday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if title-chasing Arsenal win at third-bottom West Ham on Sunday. With bottom two Wolves and Burnley already down, West Ham are seven points behind with three games left.

Given West Ham’s far inferior goal difference, even an Arsenal draw would realistically leave Leeds safe, albeit not confirmed. A West Ham win would change the picture, and Daniel Farke has stressed the need to finish strongly.

Tottenham are finally out of the relegation zone but only one point clear of West Ham, so the stakes are high.

Among those ruled out are Tottenham’s Wilson Odobert, who ruptured the ACL in his left knee in February’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle, and Xavi Simons, who tore the ACL in his right knee in last month’s 1-0 win at Wolves and faces around eight months out, ending his season and World Cup hopes. Captain Cristian Romero is also out for the season with a knee injury from last month’s 1-0 defeat at Sunderland. Mohammed Kudus has suffered a significant quad setback that may require surgery, Ben Davies fractured his left ankle in January against West Ham and had surgery, and Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined after knee operations and has yet to return to training.
