The bad news first: Tottenham Hotspur’s list of players done for the season just keeps growing. The good news? There’s not much season left. Timo Werner (hamstring), Manor Solomon (knee) and Ben Davies (calf) are now all done for the remainder.
“Unfortunately, we’ve had a couple of issues,” said Spurs boss Ange Postecoglu in regards to Werner. “Timo with a hamstring. He’ll miss the rest of the season, obviously, with only three weeks to go, he won’t be back.”

Moving from Werner to Davies, the first year Australian manager said the following: “Unfortunately, Ben picked up a calf issue, which will probably rule him out of the rest of the games as well.”
As for Solomon, well, he’s been out with a knee injury since early February, but there has always been this undercurrent of his possibly coming back to play again. Not so anymore; we won’t see him again until 2024-25. Also, Destiny Udogie, Ryan Sessegnon and Fraser Forster are all long ruled out for this term.
