Kudus, Solanke, Bergvall - Latest Tottenham injury news and return dates for Man Utd clash

Tottenham have been plagued by injuries so far this season with marquee summer arrival Mohammed Kudus the latest player to suffer a muscular issue.

Thomas Frank could be without 10 of his Tottenham Hotspur players for the visit of Manchester United, even with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie recently returning. Spurs have struggled on home soil, but still sit sixth in the table, having not lost away from home.

Key players missing out have certainly not helped Frank, as Tottenham struggle to create open-play chances. Summer signing Mohammed Kudus has arguably been their biggest threat, but there are major doubts over his availability on Saturday lunchtime.

He is the only question mark for Frank, with Tottenham's nine other injured players already ruled out, as most of them are recovering from long-term issues. Following the November international break, at least some are expected back, though, with Dominic Solanke targeting a return for then as well, as confirmed by Frank.

With that being said, football.london has taken a look at the latest Tottenham injury updates and when those absent players could be back.

Mohammed Kudus

For the Champions League win over Copenhagen, Kudus was absent after picking up a knock. Frank has since opted against confirming his availability for Man United, but given his importance, it seems likely he will be involved.

What Frank said: "Kudus is touch and go for tomorrow [vs Man United], we'll see."

Potential return date: Manchester United (H) - Saturday, November 8

Dominic Solanke

Solanke has barely featured in this campaign with an ankle problem, which eventually required surgery to fix, plaguing him since pre-season.

What Frank said: "I think the international break will be the big deciding factor because we have two weeks there to push in the next steps. As I say, it's going forward. Just to take it instead of the questions every single time because it was clearly that he was not ready before the international break.

"It's more, we look after the international break, that's what we're aiming for. I think we always want to get it right, but I think it's important to get it right so he's out there, can help the team, and we need him back."

Potential return date: December

Lucas Bergvall

After just a few minutes of last weekend's clash against Chelsea, Lucas Bergvall was forced off with a suspected concussion after being hit in the face by a ball. He has been included in Sweden's squad for the November internationals, but is expected to miss out today as he is still serving concussion protocols.

What Frank said: "Lucas got a concussion, which was probably pretty obvious from the footage. Big praise to the medical team, because it's a tricky situation to be in when it's two minutes into a game. So, well done to them because it's the player’s health that's the most important thing."

Potential return date: Late November

Archie Gray

Gray was added to Tottenham's injury list in the latter stages of last month with a minor calf issue.

What Frank said: "He would have started [against Newcastle]. He got a contact to the calf in Monaco and probably in there or whatever, also picked up a calf strain.'

Potential return date: Late November

James Maddison

Maddison may not play any competitive minutes in the 2025/26 season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during a friendly.

Potential return date: Summer 2026

Dejan Kulusevski

Kulusevski underwent surgery on a knee injury earlier this year and is unlikely to return before the end of 2025.

What Frank said: "Deki is still not on the grass. We're working very hard to get him fit as quickly as possible."

Potential return date: January 2026

Ben Davies

After playing for Wales during the October international break, Davies was confirmed as unavailable for a number of weeks.

Potential return date: Late November

Yves Bissouma

Bissouma also got injured on international duty, with the midfielder suffering an unfortunate ankle issue just a few minutes into an appearance for Mali off the bench.

What Frank said: "Biss, unfortunately, had a situation with the national team, I think everyone saw that, so he got a ligament injury to his ankle that will keep him out for weeks.'

Potential return date: Early December

Radu Dragusin

Dragusin is back in team training, but is being carefully managed, having suffered a serious knee injury in January.

What Frank said: "He's fully integrated into training now. An ACL [injury] is not tricky, but it's such a big injury, because you're out for nine months, so you need to build strength in the knee. He is definitely getting closer to being involved. I think we plan to play him in a friendly [during the Nov break], as I understand it."

Potential return date: December

Kota Takai

Summer signing Kota Takai is yet to play for Tottenham, having dealt with plantar fasciitis

What Frank said: "Kota is a quad problem. He's about to be training, soon."

Potential return date: Late November
