Romero, Spence, Udogie, Kudus, Bergvall latest: Spurs injury list for Palace clash

Still searching for their first win in 2026, Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace on Thursday night hoping to move away from the Premier League bottom three

Following a 4-1 loss at home to North London rivals Arsenal, Igor Tudor's side travelled to Craven Cottage where their miserable run in 2026 continued and their winless run was extended to 10 games following a 2-1 defeat to the Cottagers

Relegation-threatened Spurs can not afford to drop too many more points if they want to ease their fears of relegation and are still having to deal with a number of first-team players remaining on the sidelines. 

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest against Marco Silva’s side.
