Tottenham injury news: Major Kevin Danso update emerges
Tottenham defender Kevin Danso is currently ruled out with a Grade 1 thigh injury, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that these things can develop and it can take time to get clarity on how serious the setback is.
The 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth but has not featured since then.
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping Kevin Danso is not ruled out until the end of April
Ange Postecoglou knows that his future may hinge on how well the team performs in the Europa League.
He would want all his players fit and available for selection, and that includes Danso as well.
While it does not seem like a serious injury on his thigh, the worst-case scenario sees him being ruled out until the end of April.
| Stat (Premier League 24/25) | Kevin Danso |
| Starts | 4 |
| Pass accuracy (%) | 91.3 |
| Duels won | 11 |
| Defensive actions | 4 |
Discussing the state of play with Danso exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
“Based on the manager’s comments, it isn’t too serious and he may be able to return following the international break,” he said.
“This sounds like a Grade 1 thigh injury.
“That being said, these can take some time to get full clarity on so the worst case would be a more severe injury which would mean over four weeks out and seeing him return by the end of April.“
Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero’s return is a major boost for Tottenham
Danso’s Grade 1 thigh injury, as assessed by Dr Brar, suggests a return post-international break, but he may not be at 100 per cent for his first few games.
Tottenham must factor this into their plans, as rushing him back could risk further setbacks, especially with a potential worst-case absence until late April.
Fortunately, the return of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven provides a massive boost to Spurs’ defence.
Their presence offers stability and quality, allowing Postecoglou to ease Danso back cautiously, ensuring the 26-year-old regains full fitness without compromising the team’s Europa League ambitions.
