Spurs’ squad issues continue as they look to extend a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has offered fitness updates on Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, and Fraser Forster.

Postecoglou’s side reached the fourth spot in the Premier League standings after a narrow win over Brighton last weekend. However, the manager will have to make a few changes to his regular lineup for their next league game.

Speaking in a press conference before Spurs’ upcoming match against Wolves, Postecoglou said: “We’ve had a couple of setbacks this week. Destiny picked up a little bit of a knock last week, and he’s not available for tomorrow.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious. He should be back [to face Crystal Palace]. Pedro picked up a strain in training. Hopefully a couple of weeks for him.”

Porro and Udogie have enjoyed excellent form in recent weeks, fulfilling key roles in Postecoglou’s tactical plans. Against Wolves, the two full-backs are expected to be replaced by Emerson Royal and Ben Davies, respectively.

Postecoglou also provided a timeline for Fraser Foster’s recovery, adding: “The major one is Forster. He’s got a bit of a fracture in his foot, so he’ll miss about two months.”

Giovani Lo Celso, Manor Solomon, and Ryan Sessegnon are three other players on Tottenham’s injury list. The latter is edging closer to completing his return from a hamstring injury after completing a full training session earlier this week.
