Tottenham injury update: Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro and Richarlison latest news and return dates

Tottenham return to Premier League action this weekend with a crucial fixture against north London rivals Arsenal in their battle for Champions League qualification.

Ange Postecoglou’s side sit one place below Aston Villa in the final qualification spot, albeit with two games in hand.

Despite a rest week with no FA Cup action, Destiny Udogie was added to Tottenham’s injury list. The 21-year-old will miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury in training.

Richarlison and Pedro Porro will both be eager to return against Arsenal this weekend.

Meanwhile, long-term absentees Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, and Fraser Forster are all still unavailable.
