Tottenham suffer 198 cases of missing personnel so far this season
Injuries have taken their toll on Tottenham Hotspur’s season, leaving Ange Postecoglou’s side struggling to maintain form and consistency. But how many games has each Spurs player missed so far? Let’s find out.
Tottenham’s season derailed by injury woes
The 2024/25 season was supposed to mark a new era under Ange Postecoglou, but instead, Tottenham Hotspur have found themselves in survival mode, constantly adjusting to an ever-growing injury list.
It has been one setback after another for Spurs, whose squad depth has been stretched to its limits, resulting in a highly inconsistent campaign.
At one point, Tottenham were without 12 senior players—a crisis that has severely hampered their momentum and left the team struggling to cope in the Premier League.
As things stand, Tottenham find themselves sitting 14th in the league after 24 games, with just eight wins and a worrying 13 losses.
A closer look at Tottenham’s injury list
The numbers paint a bleak picture for Tottenham. According to BBC Sport, of the 24 players to start a Premier League match this season—excluding January signing Antonin Kinsky—only five have managed to avoid missing a game due to injury.
These include right-back Pedro Porro and midfielders Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall, who have been fortunate to remain ever-present. Goalkeeper Brandon Austin and defender Sergio Reguilon have also avoided injury-related absences.
Tottenham have played 37 matches in all competitions so far this season, and the impact of injuries has been significant.
Five players have missed more than half of those games, while seven have missed at least ten fixtures. Wilson Odobert leads the unfortunate list, having missed 30 matches in total, followed closely by Richarlison with 24 games missed.
Here is the full breakdown of how many matches each Tottenham player has missed in all competitions:
- Guglielmo Vicario: 19
- Fraser Forster: 4
- Cristian Romero: 19
- Micky van de Ven: 21
- Radu Dragusin: 1
- Ben Davies: 11
- Destiny Udogie: 9
- Djed Spence: 8
- Rodrigo Bentancur: 4
- Yves Bissouma: 4
- Pape Matar Sarr: 1
- James Maddison: 3
- Son Heung-min: 6
- Timo Werner: 8
- Mikey Moore: 14
- Brennan Johnson: 5
- Wilson Odobert: 30
- Dominic Solanke: 7
- Richarlison: 24
That comes to 198 cases of missing personnel so far this season.
Tottenham’s ongoing battle with injuries
Tottenham’s injury crisis did not begin this season. During Antonio Conte’s time in charge, Spurs were already navigating treacherous waters when it came to player fitness.
The issue has only come into sharper focus recently, as the club have faced even more injury setbacks, forcing the board to take action.
Changes have already been made to Tottenham’s medical department, with hopes that these adjustments will reduce the frequency and severity of injuries in the long run.
While there is optimism about the future, this season has been a harsh lesson in how fragile success can be when a squad is repeatedly ravaged by injuries.
