Overview
- Spurs said the 21-year-old ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will see a specialist next week before undergoing surgery and beginning rehabilitation with club staff.
- Odobert was forced off in the 35th minute of the home defeat to Newcastle after a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge left him landing heavily on his knee.
- Multiple outlets report he is highly unlikely to return this season given standard ACL recovery times, though the club did not provide a timeline.
- The winger’s setback adds to a lengthy absences list that includes Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pedro Porro, Ben Davies and Lucas Bergvall.
- The development follows Tottenham’s sacking of Thomas Frank, with the team five points above the relegation zone and next hosting Arsenal on February 22.
