Following Tottenham’s draw with Roma, there was a brief concern when one Spurs player was seen on crutches, but early signs suggest his recovery is progressing well.
Tottenham’s Europa League clash against AS Roma was supposed to be a night of European resurgence, yet it ended in disappointment as the Lilywhites were held to a 2-2 draw.
Ange Postecoglou’s side were minutes away from securing a vital three points before Mats Hummels struck a devastating late equaliser, leaving Spurs just outside the top eight in the league phase.
The match underscored Tottenham’s ongoing struggles, not just in terms of results but also in dealing with a string of injuries and it was a similar tone against Fulham when yet more inconsistencies haltedthe side from building on the 4-0 wn at Manchester City.
Guglielmo Vicario’s recent ankle surgery ruled him out of action, and Cristian Romero and Mikey Moore were also sidelined. This growing injury list has forced Postecoglou to rotate his squad significantly.
Wilson Odobert, one of Tottenham’s summer signings, has also been dealing with a significant setback. The 20-year-old winger, who joined from Burnley, recently underwent surgery for a hamstring injury, adding to the club’s issues on the left wing.
However, Thursday night provided a glimpse of progress, as fans spotted him in the dugout after the match.
Tottenham’s 1-1 draw against Fulham on Sunday highlighted the absence of the likes of Odobert, Dominic Solanke and Richarlion after the North Londoners were held to a draw.
The severity of Wilson Odobert’s situation became clear on Thursday night when fans witnessed the 20-year-old winger hobbling on crutches after the game.
In a video shared on X by a fan, Odobert was seen leaving the dugout, his left leg heavily braced, as Spurs players headed down the tunnel.
Speaking on the injury last month, Postecoglou described it as a “serious one,” and the scene at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium only confirmed those fears.
Odobert has been limited to just five appearances since his summer move, and he is yet to make a goal contribution for his new club.
The teenager’s potential impact on the pitch remains unfulfilled, and Spurs fans can only hope for a swift recovery.
Tottenham’s injury list is becoming a significant concern, and Wilson Odobert’s situation is just one piece of a larger problem.
With key players such as Vicario, Romero, and Moore also sidelined, Postecoglou’s options are increasingly limited.
For now, Spurs must weather the storm and hope their medical team can work its magic to bring players like Odobert back to full fitness as soon as possible. The road to recovery will be crucial, and the timing of these returns could very well define Tottenham’s season.
