Spursvs.Qarabag

sportsmole.co.uk, 23 September 2024, 09:08

Ange Postecoglou takes charge of his first European game as Tottenham Hotspur boss on Thursday night, as the Lilywhites host Qarabag FK in their Europa League league phase opener.

Spurs returned to the second tier of continental football thanks to their fifth-placed finish in the 2023-24 Premier League campaign, although they came agonisingly close to sneaking into the top four and earning a Champions League ticket.

The North London giants have endured a mixed start to Premier League proceedings this season, but they returned to triumphant ways at the weekend, coming from behind to sink London rivals Brentford 3-1.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Qarabag, who won the Azerbaijan Premier League title for the third season in a row last term.

Wilson Odobert

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: Unknown

Wilson Odobert was taken off with a significant hamstring injury in Spurs' EFL Cup win over Coventry City last week, and Postecoglou has conceded that he does not expect the attacker to be available in the near future.

Richarlison

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

Richarlison's unspecified training injury is proving difficult to overcome, and Postecoglou admitted before the Brentford game that there was no point in the media asking for updates on his availability, as the Brazilian is still not back in full training.

TOTTENHAM'S SUSPENSION LIST

Cristian Romero

Return date: September 29 (vs. Manchester United)

During Tottenham's most recent European game against AC Milan in March 2023, Cristian Romero was sent off for two bookable offences as Spurs crashed out of the Champions League. Despite that incident coming 18 months ago, suspensions are not wiped in UEFA competitions at the start of a new season, meaning that Romero will finally serve his ban in Thursday's fixture.
