Tottenham Hotspur have received a timely injury boost ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, with positive news emerging regarding Destiny Udogie.
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealing with several injuries in multiple positions since the turn of the year.
In fact, heading into their clash with Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield, 13 players remain sidelined for Spurs, significantly limiting Igor Tudor’s options.
The interim Tottenham boss had claimed that Spurs are not lucky with injuries after Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha clashed heads in the tie against Atletico Madrid, but there appears to be some respite.

Udogie has been sidelined since Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat against Manchester United, where he picked up a hamstring problem.
His return now serves as a big boost for Spurs, who will again have a natural left-footed full-back on their flank, which should help improve their attacking play.
While this comes as good news, Tottenham are still expected to miss several players in their clash against Liverpool.
