After waiting 17 years for their next major honour, Tottenham Hotspur could win two in the space of a few months when they tackle Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday's intriguing UEFA Super Cup clash in Udine.
The Lilywhites earned a slice of continental stardom in last season's Europa League, sinking Premier League rivals Manchester United 1-0 in the final to end their trophy drought and seal a spot in the 2025-26 Champions League.
However, a historically poor 17th-placed Premier League finish took precedence when it came to deciding Ange Postecoglou's future, and Thomas Frank now prepares for his first competitive game at the helm.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with PSG, who battered a hopeless Inter Milan 5-0 to claim their maiden Champions League title in the spring.
James Maddison
Status: Out
Type of injury: ACL
Possible return date: Unknown
In an extremely cruel twist of fate, James Maddison suffered an ACL tear during Spurs' pre-season tour after only just recovering from a previous knee problem, and the playmaker is at risk of missing the entire 2025-26 campaign.
Dejan Kulusevski
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: September 13 (vs. West Ham United)
Fellow creator Dejan Kulusevski is also on his way back from a knee issue of his own, and while his is nowhere near as severe, it may be a few weeks before he is considered ready for action again.
Dominic Solanke
Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown
Frank was originally hopeful of having Dominic Solanke back from an ankle issue towards the end of pre-season, but the Englishman's injury is taking longer than expected to heal, so an appearance in midweek is out of the question.Â
Kota Takai
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unknown
New signing Kota Takai must wait a little while longer for his competitive Spurs debut owing to a plantar fascia injury, and Frank has conceded that he may take weeks to get back up to speed.
Radu Dragusin
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Tottenham's first ACL victim of 2025, Radu Dragusin is now six months into his recovery from an operation, but the Romanian defender will not be returning until around Christmastime at the very earliest.
Bryan Gil
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Bryan Gil is still on the mend from a knee injury he sustained while on loan at Girona last season, and there is no timeframe on his recovery, but an exit in the summer transfer window is likely regardless.
Manor Solomon
Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown
Frank revealed in mid-July that winger Manor Solomon was dealing with a minor calf injury, but like Gil, the Israeli winger should be on the way out before the transfer window closes anyway.
