"textContent": "\n\n\nTottenham's injury woes have intensified with Destiny Udogie now facing a fitness concern before Saturday's vital trip to Molineux.\n\nThe 23-year-old Italian defender has battled multiple physical setbacks throughout the campaign, including issues with his knee and hamstring.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nUdogie had only just made his comeback from a hamstring complaint, featuring in the starting lineup for both of Roberto De Zerbi's opening matches since taking charge this month.\n\nThe precise nature of his current problem remains unknown, though reports indicate the Italy international is uncertain to feature against already-relegated Wolves.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nSpurs travel to the West Midlands sitting just two points adrift of safety with five fixtures left to play.\n\nThe north London club's medical room continues to overflow, with Mohammed Kudus and Cristian Romero both ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering quad and knee injuries respectively.\n\nMidfield options have been severely depleted all campaign, as Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison have missed the entire season due to significant knee injuries.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMaddison sustained his ACL damage during pre-season preparations, sidelining the England international for eight months.\n\nDe Zerbi's squad has been without a Premier League victory since 28 December, a barren run that has dragged them into a desperate relegation scrap with just five matches remaining.\n\nThe 29-year-old playmaker made an unexpected appearance on the substitutes' bench during Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Brighton, where the visitors snatched an equaliser in the 95th minute.\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n * Luke Littler buys racehorse with fellow darting star and England legend\n * Snooker star to be fined £250 after making mistake during World Championship\n * Erling Haaland irritated by Sky Sports reporter after firing Man City to Burnley win\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHowever, Maddison did not participate in any warm-up activities throughout the contest, suggesting his inclusion served primarily as a morale boost for his teammates rather than indicating genuine match readiness.\n\nDespite this, his surprising presence among the squad has raised hopes that he might yet contribute to Tottenham's fight against the drop.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDe Zerbi maintained after the Brighton stalemate that his side remains capable of winning all five of their remaining fixtures.\n\nThe Italian manager has repeatedly identified Tottenham's fragile \"mentality\" as the primary barrier to their survival, rather than any deficiency in tactical coaching of his players.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn response to these psychological concerns, the club has taken concrete action to address the issue.\n\nOn Wednesday, it emerged that Spurs are actively seeking to recruit a psychologist to work with the first-team squad, having posted a job advertisement for the position on LinkedIn.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTottenham drew 1-1 with Wolves in the reverse fixture earlier this season.\n\nSantiago Bueno put Wolves ahead, with Joao Palhinha then scoring at the death to snatch a point.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
