Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has now provided a worrying injury update on winger Wilson Odobert.
The 19-year-old is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and the Australian manager has revealed that the player had a setback during the week in terms of recovery and it seems like a serious problem now. It will be interesting to see when the former Burnley winger returns to action.
He said via Football London: “Son is almost fit but probably from our perspective we’ll aim for the weekend. We’re quite confident he’ll be right for the weekend. The only other one missing out which is a bit of a disappointment is Wilson, who has had a setback during the week and it seems like it is a serious one so we’re just waiting for more information. From the weekend everybody is ok and Djed is back training.”
Odobert is an exciting prospect and he could be an important first-team player for Spurs this season. So far, he has had 162 minutes of first-team action in the Premier League with the North London club.
He is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. The young winger will look to establish himself as a key player for the club and it remains to be seen whether he can bounce back from his injury blow quickly.
Spurs are already lacking in depth in the attack and players like Timo Werner have been very underwhelming. They cannot afford to lose attackers to injury. Postecoglou will certainly hope that the 19-year-old can recover quickly and help the team in the coming months.
Tottenham will look to push for trophies this season and they will look to qualify for the UEFA Champions League as well. They will need their squad fit and firing in order to succeed this season.

Richarlison fumes as Premier League stars make feelings clear on Rodri winning Ballon d’Or
Rodri was named the winner of the Ballon d’Or on Monday night in a surprise result, with Richarlison leading the fury of Premier League players who expected Vinicius Junior to be handed the award
Richarlison was left fuming at the announcement that Rodri had won the Ballon d’Or, with the Spurs star leading several angry Premier League stars in hitting out at the decision.
The attacker’s international team-mate Vinicius Junior had been seen as the frontrunner to win the award on Monday night. But in a major shock, it was Rodri who was handed the crown, having won the Premier League with Manchester City and Euro 2024 with Spain.
Vinicius’ club Real Madrid boycotted the awards ceremony in Paris in protest at the snub of their winger. And they were not the only ones to be left furious by Rodri’s win.
Richarlison posted a lengthy rebuke of Ballon d’Or organisers France Football on Instagram. He had livestreamed his reaction to the announcement and was left in shock when Rodri was announced as the winner, putting his hand on his head.
All of us who live football eagerly await the individual awards each season. Today, all Brazilians who love football woke up expecting to see another player from our country win an award for the best in the world after so long,” his post read.
“Unfortunately, for reasons that no one can understand, the award did not come. And don’t get me wrong, Rodri is a great player who deserves to be among the best. But Vini not winning the Ballon d’Or was embarrassing, and the only one who lost today was football.
“I remember Vini saying that his dream was to see the whole of Brazil cheering for him. And that day was today! You are a giant and the best in the world, kid! And no trophy will change that. Keep going and never shut up! We’re together!”
