Tottenham star Destiny Udogie deemed ‘fit’ ahead of Aston Villa clash
Tottenham Hotspur have received a timely boost ahead of their weekend clash against Aston Villa, with the news that Destiny Udogie sees himself declared “fit” for the upcoming fixture.
The left-back had previously withdrawn from the Italy squad during the international break due to concerns over a hamstring issue.
However, the latest update indicates that Udogie has successfully recovered and is available for selection.
According to the Standard via Daily Mail, Udogie sees himself as deemed ‘fit’ to play against Aston Villa, who are in top-class form this season with manager Unai Emery at the helm.
Ange Postecoglou will welcome Udogie‘s return, providing additional depth and options in the squad. The left-back’s availability comes at a crucial time, considering the absence of key players due to injuries and suspensions.
While Udogie’s return is a positive development, Tottenham will still be without the services of four vital first-team players for the Aston Villa encounter. Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, Richarlison, and the suspended Cristian Romero will be unavailable, further complicating the team’s selection choices.
The injury list at Tottenham has grown in recent weeks, with notable absentees including Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, and Ryan Sessegnon. The absence of these players has placed additional pressure on the remaining squad members to step up and deliver performances, particularly against challenging opponents like Aston Villa who are just one point below the Lilywhites.

The importance of having Udogie back in contention adds a layer of stability to the defensive options, providing the manager with more flexibility in his team selection.
