The number of absentees continues to grow for manager Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs have suffered 27 separate injuries since the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Of the 24 Tottenham players to start a Premier League match this season – and not including new arrival Antonin Kinsky – only Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergvall, Brandon Austin and Sergio Reguilon have not missed a game through injury.
Of the 37 matches Tottenham have played in all competitions this season, five players have missed over half them, while seven have missed 10 or more.
Forward Wilson Odobert, who had surgery on a hamstring injury in November, has been absent for 30 games, striker Richarlison has missed 24 and centre-back Micky van de Ven has been out for 21 matches.
Sunday’s 2-0 victory at Brentford ended a seven-match winless streak in the Premier League, during which Postecoglou had bemoaned his side’s bad luck with injuries.
“Every time I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel, it’s usually been an oncoming train,” he said.
