£15m Tottenham player appears to have missed training after injury concern vs Brighton

Destiny Udogie appears to have been absent from Tottenham Hotspur training on Wednesday.

In recent training footage posted on Tottenham’s YouTube channel, the Italian defender is nowhere to be seen.

Spurs are preparing for a home game against Wolves on Saturday after picking up a 2-1 over Brighton last time out.

Ange Postecoglou’s men found a late winner to secure all three points but there was one injury concern after the game.

Indeed, Destiny Udogie was unable to continue and replaced by Ben Davies in the 80th minute in the win over the Seagulls.

Postecoglou admitted after the game that he was unsure whether or not Udogie had picked up a slight issue.

“Destiny went off but I’m not sure if it was cramp, but everyone else was OK as far as I know,” the Spurs boss told Football London.

Udogie appears to have missed training

Tottenham uploaded footage of first-team training on Wednesday and there appeared to be no sign of Udogie.

All of Spurs’ first-team regulars were being put through their paces by Postecoglou and his coaching staff.

But Udogie wasn’t spotted in the video after being forced off in the win over Brighton.

Spurs fans will certainly be hoping that Udogie was involved in Wednesday’s sessions but simply wasn’t picked up in the training footage.

The £15 million man has already become such a key part of Postecoglou’s side and his absence would be a huge blow for Spurs.

Udogie has racked up 21 appearances in the league this term, managing five goal contributions in the process.

He’s only missed three games this season, one through injury and two due to suspension.

While Ben Davies has proven to be a reliable option at centre-back, he certainly doesn’t offer similar quality in attacking areas to that of Udogie.

Tottenham fans will be eagerly awaiting Postecoglou’s press conference ahead of Saturday’s game.
