Tottenham injury, suspension list and return dates for Arsenal: Bentancur, Romero, Vicario latest

Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League North London derby with Arsenal.

After making hard work of National League side Tamworth in the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur face another stern examination on the road on Wednesday evening, squaring up to North London derby rivals Arsenal in the Premier League.

Ange Postecoglou's troops were taken to extra time at the Lamb Ground on Sunday, but their superior quality eventually told in extra time as they advanced to the fourth round with a 3-0 success.

That 120-minute triumph came after a much more impressive 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final, but they remain entrenched in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown with their bitter rivals, whose FA Cup journey ended at the first hurdle with a penalty-shootout loss to 10-man Manchester United.


Timo Werner

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Postecoglou revealed in his pre-game press conference that Timo Werner sustained a hamstring injury during the win over Tamworth, one that will render him unavailable this week.


Fraser Forster

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Illness
Possible return date: January 15 (vs. Arsenal)

Veteran goalkeeper Fraser Forster is facing a race against time to recover from illness for the North London derby, but the 36-year-old has certainly now been bumped down the pecking order by new arrival Antonin Kinsky anyway.


Rodrigo Bentancur

Status: Out
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Leicester City)

Within the first five minutes of Spurs and Liverpool's EFL Cup semi-final first leg, Rodrigo Bentancur collapsed with an alarming head injury and was treated on the pitch for 10 minutes before being stretchered off. However, Postecoglou has confirmed that the Uruguayan has only suffered a concussion and should be back after the obligatory two-week protocol.


Destiny Udogie

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: February 16 (vs. Man United)

Destiny Udogie escaped a serious thigh injury against Southampton last month, but the same could not be said when he sustained a similar issue against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the left-back will not return for another few weeks.


Guglielmo Vicario

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: February 25 (vs. Manchester City)

Guglielmo Vicario is "on schedule" in his rehabilitation from an ankle fracture, according to Postecoglou, and a comeback has been provisionally pencilled in for the meeting with Manchester City in late February.


Cristian Romero

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Leicester City)

Cristian Romero's thigh injury will not take as long to heal, but the Argentine is still guaranteed to miss the derby and is not expected to play again until the end of this month.


Micky van de Ven

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Leicester)

Similarly, Micky van de Ven is likely to spend another fortnight in the infirmary with the new hamstring injury he suffered in December's enthralling 4-3 loss to Chelsea.


Wilson Odobert

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Young attacker Wilson Odobert has experienced a disrupted start to life at Spurs due to a pair of hamstring problems, and the ex-Burnley man is still on the mend from the operation he underwent to correct his most recent injury in November.


Ben Davies

Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Leicester)

Ben Davies recently suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, and the Wales international will be missing for at least another couple of weeks.
