Thomas Frank will take charge of his third Premier League game in the Tottenham Hotspur dugout on Saturday when they welcome Bournemouth to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The former Brentford manager has made an excellent start to life with the Lilywhites, collecting six points from a possible six, including a highlight 2-0 victory against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last time out.

Frank's side have also kept two clean sheets while scoring five goals of their own in their first two league matches, an impressive feat considering that the Londoners have been without a number of key players such as Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.

Ahead of this weekend's clash, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news.

Destiny Udogie

Status: Doubt

Type of injury:Â Knee

Possible return date:Â September 13 (vs. West Ham United)

Left-back Destiny Udogie was a key part of Ange Postecolgou's setup during his two seasons at Spurs, and he will be keen to re-establish himself as a regular when he returns to action after the international break.

Frank explained that the 22-year-old has returned to training, but this weekend may come too soon as Udogie needs to build fitness after missing much of pre-season.

Manor Solomon

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Calf

Possible return date:Â September 13 (vs. West Ham)

Winger Manor Solomon was on loan at Leeds United in 2024-25, helping the Peacocks to earn promotion back to the Premier League and win the Championship.

He has now returned to training, but it remains to be seen whether he will be part of Frank's plans in the long term given that the club have an abundance of attacking talent, and he could depart on loan before the transfer window shuts.

Bryan Gil

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Knee

Possible return date:Â September 13 (vs. West Ham)

One of a number of Spurs players dealing with a knee issue, Bryan Gil has been in and out of the side since his arrival in the capital, and he unfortunately suffered a knee injury that required surgery when he was on loan at Girona last season.

The Spanish forward could be a useful squad option once he recovers, though he will not be ready until at least the middle of next month.

Yves Bissouma

Status: Doubt

Type of injury:Â Knock

Possible return date:Â September 13 (vs. West Ham)

Yves Bissouma has been the subject of transfer speculation after reports of disciplinary issues at Tottenham, including repeated lateness, but the talented midfielder will be a miss on Saturday.Â

Kota Takai

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Foot

Possible return date:Â September 13 (vs. West Ham)

Young centre-back Kota Takai is yet to make his debut for Spurs after signing from Kawasaki Frontale following a foot injury that has sidelined him since July, and the severity of his plantar fascia issue is being assessed.

Radu Dragusin

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Cruciate Ligament

Possible return date:Â October 19 (vs. Aston Villa)

Romanian centre-back Radu Dragusin has shown glimspes of his potential since his arrival from Genoa, but he has missed almost the entirety of 2025 after suffering a cruciate ligament in January.

Dejan Kulusevski

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Knee

Possible return date:Â November 29 (vs. Fulham)

One of the most creative players in the Premier League, Dejan Kulusevski has been vital to Tottenham since his arrival from Juventus, but the versatile 25-year-old attacker remains out with a knee injury that he picked up towards the end of the 2024-25 season.

James Maddison

Status: Out

Type of injury:Â Cruciate Ligament

Possible return date:Â April 11, 2026 (vs. Sunderland)

Having just come back from a different injury, James Maddison was preparing for a fresh start and a new campaign under a new manager, but he suffered a heartbreaking cruciate ligament injury moments after being substituted on against Newcastle United in an early-August pre-season clash.
