Destiny Udogie’s injury status update ahead of Spurs’ match against the Villans following the international break.
Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie has been left out of Italy‘s team as a precaution before of Tottenham‘s match against Aston Villa.
The withdrawal of Udogie caused great consternation in the Italian media, leaving Spurs fans to believe that the former Udinese wing-back was yet another name to add to their expanding injury list.
Long-term absentees for Spurs include James Maddison, Mick van de Ven, Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon, and Ivan Perisic, with Richarlison also scheduled to miss the match against Villa on November 26 due to groin surgery.
However, our friends at football.london understand that Udogie’s absence is due to the injury he sustained against Fulham in the Premier League last month, which caused him to miss the triumph against Crystal Palace. He was able to play against Chelsea again, lasting only 55 minutes before receiving a second yellow card and being sent off.
“Destiny is still working his way through it,” Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said ahead of the encounter. At this point, it’s a toss-up if he’ll be available.”
Fourth-placed Spurs now lead Villa by one point in the table. They have lost their last two games, falling 4-1 to Chelsea and 2-1 to Wolves.
