Tottenham Hotspur’s season has hit a new low with the news that young winger Wilson Odobert has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
The club confirmed the injury on Thursday, stating that the France U21 international will undergo surgery next week.
Odobert was forced off during Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle—a defeat that also signalled the end of Thomas Frank’s brief tenure as manager.
The injury adds to a nightmare scenario for Spurs, who are currently languishing in 16th place in the Premier League.
With only two wins in 17 matches, the club sits just five points above the relegation zone.
Odobert joins a staggering list of absentees; the team was already missing 11 first-team players due to various injuries and suspensions before this latest blow.
The squad now faces a tense waiting period during the current break, with their next fixture being a high-stakes North London derby against league leaders Arsenal on February 22.
Without a permanent manager and missing several key starters, the club risks being dragged further into a battle for top-flight survival.
