Tottenham injury, suspension list and return dates for Brighton: Richarlison, Bergvall, Maddison latest

A match that probably no Tottenham Hotspur player wants to play, Ange Postecoglou's men conclude the 2024-25 Premier League campaign at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.

The North London giants are basking in the glow of ending their torturous 17-year trophy drought, having slain Manchester United 1-0 in Wednesday's historic Europa League final in Bilbao.

The Lilywhites will therefore grace the Champions League with their presence again next season, allowing fans to forget about their dismal 17th-placed ranking in the Premier League table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the club's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Brighton, who need just a point to guarantee an eighth-placed finish and potential Conference League football.

Yves Bissouma

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 25 (vs. Brighton)

Yves Bissouma is 50/50 for this game owing to a knock he picked up in the Europa League final, and it would be a shock to see him risked with nothing on the line.

Son Heung-min

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

Son Heung-min's previous foot issue has flared up again, and Postecoglou revealed in his pre-game press conference that his captain would not be available for the last day of the season.

Cristian Romero

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

Likewise, Cristian Romero has been ruled out of the visit of the Seagulls due to a problem with his toe, but the Argentine was always likely to make way regardless.

Richarlison

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 25 (vs. Brighton)

The one minor dampener on Spurs' Europa League success was Richarlison coming off with yet another injury midway through the second half, but the Brazilian was in extremely high spirits during the celebrations and has ostensibly avoided a serious issue.

Dejan Kulusevski

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

In contrast, fellow winger Dejan Kulusevski is working his way back from a severe knee problem, and there are no guarantees that he will be fit for the start of next season.

James Maddison

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

Likewise, James Maddison is also sidelined due to a knee concern, and only time will tell if the English playmaker will recover in time for pre-season.

Lucas Bergvall

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

Lucas Bergvall travelled with the rest of the squad for the Europa League final, offering a sliver of hope that he could be fit to play in Bilbao, but his ankle is still giving him grief and he will not feature again this season.

Timo Werner

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

Postecoglou revealed last week that Timo Werner's extended absence from the team was due to a hamstring injury, one that means he has likely played his final match for the club before he returns to parent team RB Leipzig.

Radu Dragusin

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

Radu Dragusin donned his Spurs kit for the post-match celebrations on Wednesday, but it will still be several months before the Romanian fully recovers from an ACL tear.

Dane Scarlett

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

Fledgling striker Dane Scarlett was also seen partying on the pitch in Bilbao following a groin operation, but he will not be risked on Sunday and is instead targeting a return for pre-season.
