Tottenham continue to be plagued by injury issues, with Igor Tudor facing two fresh absences for Atletico Madrid but three potential returns
Igor Tudor has been handed Tottenham injury boosts ahead of the Champions League last-16 first leg against Atletico Madrid. Spurs have often had absentees into the double-figures this season, but that list has decreased with up to three returns possible in the Spanish capital.
Radu Dragusin and Djed Spence have both missed games recently, with the latter plagued by a calf issue, but both were back in training earlier this week and thus in line to feature. Yves Bissouma and January signing Souza are both out however, having not been included in the club's Champions League squad.
Cristian Romero is the other player back available having now served his four-match ban for a second red card of the season. He has been eligible for European games in that period, but Tottenham had an extended break from that competition having finished in the top eight of the league stage.
Despite these returns, there are still several injured Spurs stars and most are unlikely to be back before the March international break. With all of that being said, football.london has taken a look at the latest updates on Tottenham's injuries and when those players unavailable could be back.
