Reeling from a gut-wrenching UEFA Super Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League campaign begins with a home tie against newly-promoted Burnley on Saturday.

The Lilywhites were on the verge of more continental stardom when they took a 2-0 lead in Wednesday's game, only for the Champions League holders to launch a tremendous comeback and complete the job on penalties.

Thomas Frank and co have little time to dwell on their European heartache, though, as Spurs prepare for a reunion with erstwhile midfielder Scott Parker, who led Burnley to a century of Championship points last season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Spurs' latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Clarets.

James Maddison

Status: Out

Type of injury: ACL

Possible return date: Unknown

James Maddison has started his long road to recovery from the ACL injury he suffered in pre-season, and it will be many months before the Englishman will be fit for action again.

Dejan Kulusevski

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

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

Frank is without his two chief playmakers at present, as Dejan Kulusevski is also struggling with a knee problem, although his is expected to settle down within the next few weeks.

Destiny Udogie

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date:Â August 23 (vs. Manchester City)

Destiny Udogie was laid low by a knee injury in pre-season, and while he is getting closer to returning to full training, the Italy left-back is not expected to be ready for the first Premier League game of the season.

Kota Takai

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: Unknown

New signing Kota Takai picked up a foot problem during the latter stages of July, and Frank has conceded that the Japanese defender will be absent for a matter of weeks.

Radu Dragusin

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Maddison is joined on the ACL treatment table by Radu Dragusin, who suffered his serious tear in January and is aiming to return before 2026.

Bryan Gil

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Spanish winger Bryan Gil suffered a knee injury while on loan at Girona last season, but the former Sevilla man is only on the fringes of the Spurs side anyway.

Manor Solomon

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Likewise, Manor Solomon could be a candidate for the chop before the summer transfer window closes, but either way, he is nursing a calf injury and has no estimated comeback date at present.

TOTTENHAM'S SUSPENSION LIST

Yves Bissouma

Possible return date: August 16 (vs. Burnley)

Frank revealed before the UEFA Super Cup that Yves Bissouma had been dropped from the squad due to persistent lateness, and it remains to be seen if he will be re-integrated for Saturday's clash.
