Spurs Injury Update: Key Quartet in Focus Ahead of Crucial Frankfurt Clash

As Tottenham navigate the final stretch of a turbulent campaign, Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt is not just a pivotal footballing occasion — it’s a moment of reckoning for a squad still searching for cohesion, clarity, and composure under Ange Postecoglou.

The 4-2 loss to Wolves, their 17th league defeat of the season, underscored the frailties that continue to undermine Spurs’ progress. Defensive lapses, avoidable goals, and a lingering sense of drift have become familiar storylines. Yet amid the chaos, there is one source of optimism: the return of key players from injury could offer Postecoglou a timely boost for what many are calling his biggest test yet.

Son Set for Return in Frankfurt

Heung-min Son’s absence at Molineux was conspicuous. Not just because of what he offers tactically, but for the leadership vacuum his absence exposes. The South Korean has been near ever-present this season and missing his first league match since October spoke volumes about the caution now guiding Spurs’ injury decisions.

That said, Postecoglou provided reassurance post-match. “Sonny got a knock on his foot so we’re being a bit cautious with him,” the manager explained. All signs point to a return in Frankfurt, with Son expected to be available and possibly start.

Odobert Fitness Being Managed Carefully

Wilson Odobert’s omission against Wolves followed a familiar theme: risk aversion. Postecoglou was clear that the French winger is not reinjured but being managed after a recent return. “Wilson, we’re managing him at the moment,” the Spurs boss said. The implication is that Odobert, like Son, will be in contention for Thursday — albeit possibly from the bench.

Danso Close but Lacking Match Sharpness

Kevin Danso’s arrival in January was meant to shore up the Spurs’ fragile backline, but a hamstring issue in March disrupted those plans. Now, there’s cautious optimism. Danso has returned to light training and could be part of the matchday squad in Germany.

Postecoglou reflected: “It’s touch and go… I don’t think they are a possibility to start but Kulusevski has a chance to be involved.” Danso’s inclusion, even in a limited role, could provide needed depth.

Dragusin Facing Long-Term Layoff

The news around Radu Dragusin is significantly more bleak. After sustaining a serious knee injury in February and undergoing surgery, the Romanian defender is not expected back for several months. His absence removes a layer of competition from the defensive ranks, further exposing Spurs’ lack of resilience in that area.

Potential return date: Unknown

As Spurs prepare for their European showdown, Postecoglou must not only manage expectations but recalibrate a team at risk of unravelling. The injury updates offer hope — but also a reminder of the physical and psychological toll this campaign has taken.
