Tottenham Hotspur have endured a disastrous start to their season, with injury concerns being one of the factors behind the slow progress in the initial games of the 2023/25 campaign, and summer signing Wilson Odobert has been one of the players serving sidelines for the Lilywhites.

Daniel Levy signed Wilson Odobert from Burnley in a €29.3 million deal last summer, with the French winger a preferred alternative to Nico Williams. And fair to say, the 19-year-old had put in some impressive e-performances for his new employers before his injury.

Spurs star Odobert set for long injury absence

Odobert suffered an hamstring injury that has kept him out since being substituted in the 18th minute in the Lilywhites Carabao Cup clash against Coventry City last month. 

And club insider Paul O’Keefe claims that the winger is expected to face an extended period on the sidelines, with another six weeks expected before his rehabilitation. 

The injury continues to be cautious for the Lilywhites as they aim to have the former Burnley man back in full training after the international break. 

Odobert’s fitness key to Tottenham’s success?

For Tottenham, the Frenchman has a unique skillset that the majority of the players don’t have in the dressing room at Hotspur Way, which makes his absence more damning. His return to full fitness would be a help to Ange Postecoglou on multiple fronts as the North Londoners look to go full throttle in the domestic as well as European competitions. 

Moreover, the Lilywhites faithful would also want to have his flair on the wings once again, as it could prove difficult for the opponent’s defenders to deal with.
