Tottenham Hotspur faces a pivotal month as they look to overcome ongoing injury concerns and regain momentum in their Premier League and Europa League campaigns.
With their absence from the FA Cup quarter-finals providing extra recovery time, Spurs will return to action on Thursday night against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge following their disappointing defeat to Fulham before the international break.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is under growing pressure, with speculation linking Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola and Fulham’s Marco Silva to his job. As Spurs sit in 14th place in the Premier League, their two-legged Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt could be a defining moment in their season—and perhaps Postecoglou’s future.
Here’s the latest Tottenham injury news and expected return dates for key players, including Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, and Richarlison.
Tottenham Injury Updates
Lucas Bergvall – Illness
- Status: Expected to return
- Injury Type: Illness
- Potential Return Date: Thursday, April 3 (vs. Chelsea, A)
- Update: The Swedish midfielder withdrew from international duty due to illness but is likely to be fit for Tottenham’s clash with Chelsea.
Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson confirmed it was a minor issue.
Dejan Kulusevski – Foot Injury
- Status: Doubtful
- Injury Type: Foot
- Potential Return Date: April
- Update: The Swedish winger last played in Tottenham’s
1-0 defeat to Manchester City on February 26, missing the last four matches, including the Europa League tie against AZ Alkmaar. Postecoglou previously hinted that he would return after the international break, with an update expected before the Chelsea match.
Kevin Danso – Hamstring Injury
- Status: Uncertain
- Injury Type: Hamstring
- Potential Return Date: April
- Update: The Austrian defender suffered a hamstring injury in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on March 9. Postecoglou expressed optimism about his return post-international break, but it remains unclear if he will be ready for Chelsea.
Richarlison – Calf Injury
- Status: Doubtful
- Injury Type: Calf
- Potential Return Date: April
- Update: Richarlison has endured a frustrating season, featuring just 14 times across all competitions and scoring three goals. His last appearance was in Tottenham’s Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Liverpool on February 6. He resumed light training before the international break, and Postecoglou hinted he could be close to a return.
What’s Next for Spurs?
Tottenham faces a packed April schedule, including Premier League clashes against Chelsea, Southampton, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool. However, their Europa League quarter-final vs. Eintracht Frankfurt remains the top priority.
With Postecoglou under increasing scrutiny, Spurs will need their key players back as soon as possible to turn their season around.
