Games are coming thick and fast for Tottenham Hotspur, which may not be a good thing given the plight they find themselves in at the bottom of the Premier League table.

A 2-1 defeat to Fulham on Sunday extended Spurs' winless run in the top flight to ten games, meaning they have still yet to pick up three points in the Premier League in 2026.

Igot Tudor has had a rough start to life as the Tottenham head coach with back-to-back defeats since replacing Thomas Frank in N17 and the injury list has refused to do him any favours since arriving in north London.

Two Steps Forward One Step Back For Tottenham

Spurs did welcome back Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso to the matchday squad for the game with Fulham, with Porro thrown straight into the starting lineup, but Tudor also lost Djed Spence.

Tottenham take on Crystal Palace on Thursday night, playing last again out of the teams in the relegation battle, knowing they could be closer to the bottom three than ever before at this stage of the season in Premier League history by the time they kick-off.

Will Tudor have any more players to call upon for the clash? GIVEMESPORT takes a look at the latest injury news from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Djed Spence Chances Of Returning To The Squad

Spence was a surprise absence from the squad for the game against Fulham, meaning two players may have returned, but another was put on the treatment table.

All Tudor had to say about Spence's omission was that "it's an injury - he has some problems with soreness". It is hoped that the Englishman is not suffering with anything long-term and that he will be available to take on the Eagles on Thursday night.

There may be some good news on the Dejan Kulusevski front too, with Tudor dropping a cryptic message about the Swede - who has yet to play this season - last week.

Tudor said: "Fantastic player, fantastic guy. Difficult moment. He's had really big problems, as you know, here. But he's positive. And also the doctors are positive. So we'll see, next week, how it's going."

It is a positive that Tudor will be checking in on Kulusevski's recovery this week and there are hopes the Swede will be back in action before the season ends.

Destiny Udogie Closing In On Spurs Return

Thursday's game may just be too soon for left-back Destiny Udogie to return, although there is an outside chance the Italian could make the squad.

We are now into week four of former boss Thomas Frank's assessment that it would be "four or five weeks" that Udogie would be missing.

It is more likely that the Liverpool game on March 15 will be his return date, but if Spurs think he's ready he would definitely be an important player to welcome back on Thursday night.

Lucas Bergvall is not far away from a return to action following surgery on his ankle injury, but it is likely to be another month before we see him again. After the March international break is the likely date for his return to action. Reports in Sweden have said that his rehabilitation is 'going in the right direction'.

That will be the same for Mohammed Kudus following his hamstring injury.

Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison and Wilson Odobert all remain long-term injuries and may not be seen again this season.
