Tottenham are preparing for a return to action as they near a season-defining month in their season.
While Ange Postecoglou’s injury woes are not as serious as even a month ago, star man Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined, along with Kevin Danso, Richarlison and Radu Dragusin.
With a huge Europa League quarter-final on the horizon, there is a hope that some, but not all, could return to play a part.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latestTottenham injuries…

Dejan Kulusevski
Dejan Kulusevski missed the last few games before the international break with a foot injury, and he is in a race to be fit for the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Frankfurt.
Speaking at the time, Ange Postecoglou said: "He is unlikely to be back before the international break, but nothing serious and no surgery or anything."
Asked for an update after the defeat at Fulham, the Spurs boss added: "Like I said before, post the international break we expect him to sort of start to move back towards the team."
Potential return date: April 2025
Kevin Danso
Kevin Danso has impressed since joining in January on a loan-to-buy move from Lens, but has been sidelined with a thigh injury since early March.

Issuing an update on Danso's fitness before the international break, Postecoglou said: "After the international break.
"We're at the point in the season where everyone wants to push, both those guys [Kulusevski and Danso] are keen to get back into the fold.”
Potential return date: April 2025

Richarlison
Richarlison has endured another injury-hit season, struggling with his fitness and getting a run of game under his belt, and has not been seen since the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool in February.
The striker has been back in light training for a few weeks and is nearing a return.
Postecoglou said of Richarlison, and other injury squad-mates: "After the international break we don't play until the following midweek so that's a good two and a half weeks for guys like him and Richy to work hard and speed up their rehab.”
Potential return date: April 2025
Radu Dragusin
Defender Radu Dragusin required surgery on a serious knee injury suffered in February and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Potential return date: Summer 2025
