AdminTottenham Hotspur’s injury crisis has worsened, with French winger Wilson Odobert ruled out for an extended period following surgery on a recurring hamstring issue.
The 19-year-old, a £30 million summer signing from Burnley, has struggled to maintain fitness during his debut season in North London.
Odobert’s early performances showed promise, particularly during a spectacular debut in Tottenham’s 4-0 destruction of Everton.
Yet, enduring injury troubles have reduced his ability to build momentum and fulfil his potential.
The latest setback shots from thigh problems that have sidelined the youngster since late October, forcing him to miss five matches.
This follows an earlier hamstring injury that kept him out of action for seven games earlier in the campaign.
The club confirmed the development via X (formerly Twitter), stating: “We can confirm that Wilson Odobert underwent surgery to his right hamstring yesterday (Saturday, November 16).
The 19-year-old will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team to determine when he can return to training.
”Manager Ange Postecoglou now faces an uphill battle as his side prepares to meet Manchester City among mounting fitness concerns.
With key players unavailable, Odobert’s absence further reduces a squad already stretched thin.
Tottenham’s focus will now turn to ensuring Odobert’s smooth recovery, with hopes that he can boost their attack later in the season.
