Spurs injury news: Porro targets Chelsea, Simons aims for late January

📰 Tottenham's injury return dates have been laid out ahead of their trip to Manchester United. 📌 Key points 🩹 Pedro Porro is aiming to return from a hamstring injury for Chelsea. 🦶 Mykhailo Mudryk faces four to eight weeks out with an ankle problem. 🗓️ Wilson Odobert is expected back from an ACL rupture in November. ⏳ Xavi Simons is targeting a late-January return. 🔁 Dejan Kulusevski is back training and building up sharpness. 📝 What happened 🩹 According to Football.London, Pedro Porro hurt his hamstring 15 minutes into the defeat to Aston Villa and is working with personal specialists in Spain. Roberto De Zerbi said at the time he hoped it was not a big problem, and Porro is aiming to be back for the trip to Chelsea on 24 October or sooner. 🦶 Mykhailo Mudryk injured his ankle in training and was given a four-to-eight-week prognosis; he is doing his rehab in London. De Zerbi called it a stupid injury. Wilson Odobert, who ruptured his ACL against Newcastle in February, is expected back in November. ⏳ Xavi Simons, who suffered an ACL injury against Wolves in April, is working towards a return in late January 2027. Dejan Kulusevski, out since a kneecap injury in May 2025, is training with the squad, and De Zerbi said he will be like a new signing once he is at top condition. 🦵 There is also concern from international duty. Jan Paul van Hecke was stepped on and hurt his toe against Serbia, and reportedly could not kick the ball properly in recovery training. There is no timeline for his return yet. 📊 By the numbers • Mudryk recovery window: 4-8 weeks • Porro target: Chelsea away, 24 October • Simons target: late January 2027 🔭 Why it matters Spurs are bottom of the Premier League without a win in five, so getting players back is a priority. How quickly Porro returns at right-back, and Simons and Kulusevski bring back creativity, could decide when the revival comes. Tottenham visit Manchester United on 10 October and travel to Chelsea on 24 October.
