Tottenham's injury problems are finally easing for new head coach Roberto De Zerbi as we get towards the real business end of the Premier League season.
When De Zerbi first arrived at the club he walked into a dressing room with almost as many players in the treatment room as available to him on the pitch.
And things got worse when Mohammed Kudus, working his way back to full fitness following a quad injury, suffered a setback in his rehabilitation and was added to the 'out for the season' list. Then, in his first game in charge, club captain Cristian Romero picked up a knee injury, meaning he would miss the rest of the season too.
Udogie Was Named As A Doubt For Wolves Clash
There was further concern this week with news emerging that Destiny Udogie was a doubt for the trip to the Black Country. The Italian has started both games at left-back under De Zerbi and would be a big miss.
But while three other players remain out of action - Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert - there is good news with the rest of the injured stars at Hotspur Way.
First choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario underwent hernia surgery and has missed De Zerbi's first two games in charge, but could return against Wolves, while James Maddison, who has not played all season after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season, returned to the substitutes' bench for the 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, albeit not being used, and it will be the same again this weekend.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of a huge match with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, De Zerbi offered the latest team news for the trip to Molineux.
He said: "Destiny has a [muscular] problem. I think he can't play tomorrow, but he played on Saturday and played a great first half, second half as well but the first was great. We have [Djed] Spence, Souza is available to come with us.
"No he's [Maddison] not available [to play] yet. Tomorrow he will come on the bench because he's important whether he plays or not. Better he plays but as a leader and a guy, I want to see in my dressing room nice people, positive people.
"Vicario is not available for tomorrow. I hope he can start with me from Monday. Antonin is playing very well. I hope Vicario can come back in the best physical condition because he's a very important player for us."
Pape Matar Sarr was also ruled out.
The Situation As It Stands At The Bottom Of The Premier League Table
The game with Wolves is Spurs' first of five in which to save their Premier League status. They are two points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table and without a win in the Premier League in 2026.
Wolves and Burnley have already been relegated, with one more spot in next season's Championship still to be determined, with Spurs fighting against West Ham and Nottingham Forest to avoid being the unlucky third team to be relegated.
Forest play first this weekend when they take on Sunderland in the Friday night clash at the Stadium of Light. West Ham play at the same time as Sprus, against Everton, at 3pm on Saturday.
