Tottenham Hotspur player injury updates

Overview

Tottenham Hotspur continues to manage significant injury challenges. Ahead of their Carabao Cup third-round match against Liverpool, head coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that summer signing Sandro Tonali will miss the fixture due to a knock. Defender Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined with a serious knee injury sustained at the end of the 2024-25 season, while Pedro Porro remains unavailable due to a minor muscle injury. Destiny Udogie has recovered and is available for selection following recent workload management.

To address these recurring physical issues, the club has overhauled its medical department under performance director Dan Lewindon, introducing new specialists and more strictly regulated playing minutes for key squad members.

Pedro Porro’s injury situation has escalated following a Premier League match against Aston Villa. After being forced to leave the pitch early in the game, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed that Porro has officially withdrawn from Spain’s upcoming UEFA Nations League squad. This hamstring injury prevents him from participating in matches against England, Croatia, and the Czech Republic.

To address the vacancy in the Spanish squad, head coach Luis de la Fuente has called up Sporting CP defender Iván Fresneda. Originally part of the Spain U21 squad, the 21-year-old has been promoted to the senior team to provide depth at right-back following the international retirement of Marcos Llorente. Fresneda is expected to join the training camp at Las Rozas on Tuesday, September 22. For Tottenham, Porro's absence remains a critical concern as the club navigates the international break with a thin defensive roster.
