Wilson Odobert offers brief update on his injury at Tottenham

Wilson Odobert made a strong start at Tottenham Hotspur this summer in what was a surprising transfer.

Spurs signed the young winger from Burnley for £25 million, despite no prior links between the clubs, catching many off guard (BBC).

This move followed Odobert’s impressive performance in Burnley’s opening Championship game against Luton Town, where he scored his first goal of the season.

Odobert quickly made an impact at Tottenham, showing promise in his first three appearances before suffering a hamstring injury just 18 minutes into a League Cup match against Coventry.

The latest update from The Standard describes Odobert’s injury as a long-term issue, with the winger not expected to return to training until November.

This injury comes at a difficult time for Tottenham, as manager Ange Postecoglou is dealing with limited options on the wing.

With Odobert, Heung-min Son, and Richarlison all sidelined, players like Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner have had to step up.

Speaking to the Tottenham media team, Odobert expressed his determination during recovery: “I’m disappointed about this injury, but I’m working hard now to come back and play again.

I just need to keep pushing and keep working.”

In better news for Spurs, The Standard reports that Heung-min Son is hopeful of returning to the squad in time to captain the team against West Ham next weekend.
