Tottenham Hotspur winger Wilson Odobert is anticipated to make a return to training during or shortly after the international break, following a hamstring injury, according to Dr. Rajpal Brar.
Odobert sustained the injury during Spurs’ Carabao Cup match against Coventry City earlier this month, where he was forced to exit the game just 18 minutes in.
Dr. Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapist, explained that the 19-year-old forward is suffering from a Grade 3 hamstring injury, which typically keeps players out for around three to four weeks, depending on the progress of recovery.
Tottenham has recognized the severity of the injury, with the club acknowledging that the situation “doesn’t look good.” However, there is hope that Odobert could resume full training once the international break concludes, as long as his rehabilitation proceeds smoothly.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Dr. Brar stated:
“This sounds like a Grade 3 hamstring injury.
“If that is the case, typically looking at over three to four weeks out.
“The club confirmed that it’s not looking good so that’s never a good sign.
“If all things go as per plan, he could be back in full training during or after the international break.”
Since joining Spurs, Odobert has made four appearances, starting in three of them. He debuted in a commanding 4-0 win over Everton and has shown flashes of his potential, even though he has yet to register a goal or assist. His pace, technical ability, and attacking mindset have made him a valuable asset down the wings.
Manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed confidence in the young winger, regularly featuring him in the lineup before the injury. Odobert’s return will be highly anticipated as Tottenham looks to build on their recent performances.
Odobert’s ability to drive forward and create chances will undoubtedly be a boost for Spurs, offering an additional attacking threat once he regains full fitness.
