Tottenham being 14th in the Premier League but finishing above PSG, Inter, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona in the Champions League table is the most Tottenham thing possibly imaginable. Beyond shouting ‘Frank Out’, one might take a peek at the Spurs physio room.
–**Djed Spence**
As of February 1, 2026 (today), he has been ruled out of Tottenham’s match against Manchester City due to this calf issue. This was confirmed by reliable reports from journalists like Jay Harris of The Athletic
– **Pedro Porro** (hamstring) The four-week estimate means he’s expected to miss games through late February 2026, potentially ruling him out until around February 22 or shortly after.
In a more recent update, Frank expressed cautious optimism that Porro could return in time for the North London Derby against Arsenal on February 22, describing it as a “dream scenario” that’s “in that bracket.” However, this depends on his recovery progress, and no firm confirmation has changed the initial four-week outlook.
– **Micky van de Ven** (minor, doubtful) He missed Tottenham’s Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt midweek due to this issue.
Manager Thomas Frank described it as a “minor” injury and said Van de Ven is “touch and go” for the Premier League home game against Manchester City on Sunday, February 1, 2026 (or potentially already decided by now, depending on the exact timing).
– **Richarlison** (hamstring)
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank confirmed shortly after (around January 15, 2026) that Richarlison would be sidelined for up to seven weeks with the hamstring injury. This makes him Tottenham’s top scorer this season (with seven Premier League goals at the time) a significant absence for the team, especially amid a broader injury crisis at the club.
– J**ames Maddison** (ACL) The injury occurred right before the start of the 2025-26 season under new head coach Thomas Frank. It ruled him out for the majority (if not all) of the 2025-26 campaign, as typical ACL recovery timelines for footballers are 9-12 months or more.
Maddison has described it as devastating mentally, calling it a “dark time” that “destroyed me on the inside” and crushed his hopes for the 2026 World Cup with England.
– **Lucas Bergvall** (ankle) He is now beginning rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff.
The injury is expected to sideline him for up to three months in the worst-case scenario, though Tottenham has not provided an official exact timeline beyond acknowledging it’s a significant/high ankle sprain requiring surgery.
– **Ben Davies** (fractured ankle)
As of the current date (February 1, 2026), no further major updates indicate a change in status—his recovery is ongoing, with an expected return sometime around April 2026 or later, depending on progress. This injury adds to Tottenham’s defensive challenges amid a difficult season.
– **Rodrigo Bentancur** (hamstring)
The club confirmed he underwent successful surgery on his right hamstring shortly after. He has begun rehabilitation with Tottenham’s medical staff.
Reports from reliable sources (including The Athletic, BBC Sport, ESPN, and Tottenham’s official statements) indicate an expected absence of around three months, meaning he’s likely sidelined until approximately April 2026.
– **Mohammed Kudus** (quad)
Thomas Frank provided an update on January 8, 2026, confirming it’s a more serious tendon injury in the quad, requiring extended recovery. Kudus is expected to be sidelined until after the March international break (which runs March 23–31, 2026), with a potential return around early to mid-April 2026 (some sources specify around April 11 for Premier League action).
– **Dejan Kulusevski** (knee)
He underwent patella cartilage surgery (with some reports mentioning related stress fracture elements in updates), and recovery has proven more complicated than expected. As of early February 2026 (current date), he remains unavailable, having missed nearly 9 months and around 38+ competitive matches.
– **Kota Takai** (thigh)
Recent updates suggest he’s been involved with Gladbach, including potential first starts in the Bundesliga, with no new reports of an active thigh injury flare-up. His earlier thigh problem appears resolved as part of his overall recovery before the loan move. Takai has been unlucky with injuries early in his European career, but the loan to Gladbach is aimed at helping him build match fitness and experience. No indications of a current or recurring thigh injury as of the latest available info around February 2026.
