Tottenham suffered twice the injury setbacks Liverpool did during the 2024/25 season, with the final numbers underlining just how much their campaign was defined by injuries.
It sure was a memorable 2024/25 campaign for Tottenham Hotspur for both the right and wrong reasons, with the Lilywhites winning their first major trophy since 2008, but they endured an abysmal domestic campaign – their worst ever – as they ended in 17th place after losing 22 League games.
For Ange Postecoglou, he would rightly point to the club’s injury crisis as one of the major reasons for the north London club’s slump down the table, as his second spell in charge saw Tottenham end a staggering 12 places below his first season.
In February, we reported that Spurs had a whopping 198 cases of missing personnel, with every player suffering an injury at some point, with the exception of five.

Tottenham players missed over 1,500 days to injury in 2024/25
Now, with the season wrapped up, a round-up of all the injuries suffered by each Premier League club has been revealed, and it makes for interesting reading.
According to reports from Premier Injuries, Spurs were among the hardest-hit clubs in the Premier League this season when it came to player availability, but they were not the worst off.
The Lilywhites are reported to have lost a staggering 1,553 player-days to injury, which is more than double Liverpool’s total.

In fact, only Brighton players, with 1,944, missed more days through injury, while relegated Ipswich Town (1,506 days) and trophyless Arsenal (1,297 days) also had serious availability issues.
Spurs’ 41 injury cases levelled with Ipswich Town
In terms of separate injury cases, Tottenham had 41, level with Ipswich Town, with only Brighton recording more, 48, while the Gunners endured 36 separate injury cases.
The data, compiled by the report, includes any injury issue that forced a player to miss at least one competitive match, with illnesses and pre-season knocks not counting.
Other clubs who lost over 1,000 player-days to injury include Manchester United (1,295), Bournemouth (1,185) and Manchester City (1,134), while West Ham (672), Nottingham Forest (673) and Liverpool (765) fared best in terms of player availability.
Despite Spurs’ injury struggles, which only ramped up towards the end of their season, with James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski suffering injuries, Postecoglou’s decision to focus mainly on the Europa League was ultimately rewarded, as Tottenham secured a place in the Champions League, reaching their season objective.
