Tottenham’s crisis continued on Sunday in perhaps their worst defeat of the season thus far. Spurs lost 2-1 at home to Leicester despite taking the lead to increase the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou. While there may be bigger issue in play to explain Tottenham’s dire Premier League form, the injury crisis at the club cannot be ignored.

James Maddison was ruled out for Spurs before even playing Leicester, adding to the list of unavailable players. With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injuries. Maddison sat out of the Leicester defeat due to soreness but Postecoglou is confident he will return for the trip to Brentford next week.
Asked if Maddison’s injury was serious, the Spurs boss said: “No, we hope not. He should be alright for next week.”. Potential return date: Sunday 2 February 2025. Richarlison has only just returned from injury and gave the Spurs the lead on Sunday.
Still, the Brazilian was subbed off for Spurs early in the second-half, a decision to have been met by a smattering of boos from the home support. After the game, Postecoglou confirmed the decision was made due to a groin injury. “Richarlison was feeling his groin, he had to come off, I should have took him off at half-time and he wasn't running out,” he said.
