Tottenham Faces Defensive Crisis with Key Injuries

Tottenham Hotspur faces a significant setback with defender Destiny Udogie sidelined for up to eight weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during a draw with Wolves. Manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed the injury, adding to a growing list of unavailable players, including Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Additionally, Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended for the upcoming match against Newcastle due to yellow card accumulation. The team's defensive crisis comes amid a challenging schedule, including crucial fixtures like the League Cup semi-finals and the North London derby. Postecoglou emphasized the need for squad reinforcement during the January transfer window but cautioned against panic buying. Despite the setbacks, Postecoglou commended his squad's resilience and determination to recover from recent form challenges.
