Spursvs.Bournemouth

The Lilywhites will likely already have their eye on next week's last-16 second leg with AZ Alkmaar following a 1-0 defeat in Thursday's opening encounter by virtue of a Lucas Bergvall own goal.

Indeed, it is now Europa League or bust for Ange Postecoglou's side, as they remain entrenched in the bottom half of the Premier League table following a 1-0 home loss to Manchester City last week.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Bournemouth, who most recently progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Dominic Solanke

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Dominic Solanke made his first appearance since the middle of January on Thursday evening after recovering from a knee injury, but the England international lasted just 20 minutes due to a knock. Postecoglou is keeping his fingers crossed that the issue is not severe, but he may now miss out on a reunion with his former side.

Dejan Kulusevski

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: April 3 (vs. Chelsea)

The influential Dejan Kulusevski suffered a foot injury before the defeat to AZ Alkmaar, and Postecoglou has conceded that the ex-Juventus attacker is unlikely to return before this month's international break.

Ben Davies

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Other

Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Postecoglou declared that Ben Davies was "close" to returning from an unspecified problem before the loss to AZ Alkmaar, but the Welshman was not involved in the Netherlands and therefore remains a serious doubt for Sunday.

Richarlison

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: March 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Richarlison was given a three-week timeline to recover from his calf problem in the middle of February, which would potentially put him on course for a return this weekend, but it would still be a surprise to see him involved.

Radu Dragusin

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Radu Dragusin is on the mend from the season-ending ACL operation he underwent last month, and the Romanian will not be back on the field until the latter stages of 2025.
