Tottenham attacker Wilson Odobert is expected back in training during or after the international break post his hamstring injury, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that the 19-year-old is out with a Grade 3 hamstring setback and given the club’s official update, it does look like a serious blow.
The Frenchman moved to Spurs this summer from Burnley and has made three Premier League appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Discussing the state of play with Odobert exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said:
“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.”
Wilson Odobert is a decent option off the bench for Tottenham
Odobert is a decent option to have on the bench for Postecoglou and he’s performing at an impressive level for a 19-year-old.
He showed sparks of his brilliance at Burnley last season which is what appears to have caught the eyes of the Spurs hierarchy.
Hopefully, once he returns, he will manage to stay injury-free and contribute whenever needed this season.
In other Tottenham news, an injury update has emerged on Richarlison after his recent calf setback.

Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham ‘ready’ to tackle Manchester United challenge head-on
Tottenham face a stern test against Manchester United at Old Trafford
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has been putting his lads through their paces ahead of Sunday’s big Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Lilywhites have found some rhythm after a tough start to the 2024/25 season, winning three games across all competitions on the bounce. They edged Coventry City 2-1 in the Carabao Cup third round last week, and beat Brentford 3-1 at home in the Premier League the previous weekend before seeing off Qarabag 3-1 in their Europa League opener in midweek despite being a man down.
So, it is a relatively quick turnaround in games for ange postecoglou and his boys, who now travel to Greater Manchester to take on the Mancunian giants. Tottenham were undefeated against Manchester United last season—beating Erik ten Hag’s men 2-0 at home before drawing 2-2 at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
Spurs look in good form and shape after the recent run of positive results. Wary of the challenge at Old Trafford, Big Ange has Claimed that his team will be ready for it on Sunday as Spurs look to kickstart their Premier League season.
“You look at their record irrespective of the managers, it’s still a fairly compelling record there and they’ve got some real quality players. So, we had a really good game there last year. We ended up 2-2 and it was a cracking game and yeah, it’s one we’re going to be ready for,” Postecoglou said in his pre-match press conference
Man United may not have enjoyed an ideal start to the season and already lost two Premier League games against Brighton and Liverpool respectively, but they still are a strong side, especially at home. Like us, they are sitting mid-table and hunting for inspiration to kickstart the campaign.
