Tottenham’s Injury Woes Continue Ahead of Crucial Europa League Clash Against AZ Alkmaar

Kevin Danso, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in the winter transfer window, may now face a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knock during Spurs’ 2-2 draw against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Despite the returns of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, Danso played the full ninety minutes. Since arriving from RC Lens in January, the Austrian centre-back has been a key figure in Tottenham’s defense, forming a reliable partnership with Archie Gray.

His regular presence has been necessary due to injuries to Ben Davies and, more recently, Radu Dragusin.

With Spurs’ squad already stretched, the 26-year-old has featured in almost every game, impressing fans with his consistency.

Even manager Ange Postecoglou has praised Danso for stepping up in difficult circumstances.

Danso’s injury scare adds to Tottenham’s concerns

Although Danso completed the full match against Bournemouth, Football.London reports suggest he may have suffered a muscle injury.

If confirmed, this could be a significant blow for Spurs, adding to their ongoing injury troubles.

Concerns arose late in the game when Danso appeared to struggle, showing signs of discomfort.

At full-time, he headed straight down the tunnel at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, accompanied by medical staff, clutching his right hamstring with his shorts pulled up on that side.

With no official update on his condition yet, all attention now turns to Postecoglou’s upcoming press conference on Thursday afternoon for further details.

Postecoglou may need to adjust his defensive plans

Spurs fans will be eager for clarity on Danso’s fitness, as his potential absence could force Postecoglou into defensive changes.

If ruled out, Danso might miss Tottenham’s next fixture on Thursday. However, with Romero, van de Ven, Gray, and Davies available, Spurs still have options at centre-back.

Nevertheless, Tottenham’s injury list continues to grow. Danso now seems set to join Dejan Kulusevski, Dragusin, and Richarlison on the sidelines, adding to Postecoglou’s selection headaches.
