Spurs injury latest: Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski and more

Tottenham Hotspur currently face a significant injury crisis as they prepare for the international break. The club finds itself in the relegation zone, with multiple injuries and few goals, leading to no league wins. The latest concern is striker Pedro Porro, who returned from injury against Aston Villa but broke down again within 15 minutes. This setback adds to the club's existing issues, as they struggle to maintain creativity, pace, and continuity in attack.

Pedro Porro's absence has left Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi struggling to manage his squad effectively, as he has already missed three games since returning from a minor muscular issue. A potential return date for Porro is Saturday, October 10, against Manchester United. However, the club remains cautious about rushing him back due to the severity of his injury.

Dejan Kulusevski, a key defender, is still sidelined by a serious kneecap injury that has affected his entire 2025-26 season. He has returned to training but remains unavailable, with no confirmed date for his comeback. Until Kulusevski re-enters the squad, Tottenham's future plans remain uncertain.

Other unavailable players include Mykhailo Mudryk, who is expected to be out for six to eight weeks after suffering an ankle injury, and Xavi Simons, who faces a lengthy recovery period from an ACL injury, likely not returning before the new year.

However, there is a ray of hope in the form of defender Wilson Odobert, who recovered from a similar injury in February. If his rehabilitation stays on track, he could provide Spurs with a much-needed option on the wing before the end of the year. Tottenham will need to see improvements in player availability and overall fitness if they hope to turn their fortunes around in the league.
