Injuries, injuries, injuries. Something needs to be done at this cursed club.
Paul O Keefe has shared on X the news that Destiny Udogie is expected to be out for some considerable time, some seven weeks, all told.
Tottenham have Sergio Reguilon, but he’s not registered for the Europa League.
The list of players out is appalling, no matter what is happening at the other sides. Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky Van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster, and Pape Mata Sarr are all out!

Ange Postecoglou needs players back as soon a possible, but another issue is that the style of play he prefers is intense, and an obvious concern might be that returning players put under too much pressure too soon, could trigger relapses. Spurs have seen their league form drop off a cliff with four defeats in their last five games, leaving us 15th in the division.
Hoffenheim are in a similar boat, having amassed just 17 points from a possible 54, and they too are 15th in their league. Worse yet, the Germans have failed to score in five of their last ten Europa League fixtures.
This is perhaps unlikely to be a footballing masterclass, but all Ange needs is a win. In this competition, however, Hoffenheim are also desperate for a win it will take a brave man to call this one.
