Every single Tottenham game Pedro Porro will miss after Thomas Frank gives new injury update
Pedro Porro is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury.
The 24-year-old right-back was substituted at half-time in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Burnley on Saturday.
The Spaniard has featured in every Premier League game this season and has provided two assists in the competition so far.
Thomas Frank is under pressure at Tottenham, and the last thing he needs is for one of his starters unavailable for a key run of games.
Pedro Porro out for four weeks with hamstring injury
Porro has been poor at times for Tottenham as they continue to underperform this season, and the away clash against Frankfurt on Wednesday will be the first of many matches that he will miss due to his injury.
Frank said in his pre-match Champions League press conference: “Porro hasn’t travelled as he’s picked up a hamstring injury. So he’ll be out for about four weeks.”
It’s a big blow for Tottenham, although Djed Spence is more than capable enough to replace him at right-back.
Regardless of his form, Porro provides a huge attacking threat down the right-hand side, and his creativity is hard to replace.
| Date | Opponent |
| 28 January | Frankfurt (a) |
| 1 February | Man City (h) |
| 7 February | Man United (a) |
| 10 February | Newcastle (h) |
| 22 February | Arsenal (h) |
Porro has played more passes into the box (180) and delivered more open play crosses (113) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
According to FotMob, he has created 32 chances and completed 81 long balls, which is the most of any right-back in the top flight.
However, his pass accuracy of 74.3 per cent isn’t great, and Spurs may be able to keep the ball much more in his absence by keeping it simple.
Missing key matches against Arsenal, Man City, and Newcastle isn’t great, and he could be unavailable for even more games.
If Spurs fail to beat Frankfurt on Wednesday, then they’ll likely drop out of the top eight of the Champions League table and have to play in the knockout playoff round to qualify for the round of 16.
These two-legged ties take place on 17 or 18 February, and 24 or 25 February, and they would fall within the timeframe of the Spain international’s injury.

Micky van de Ven also unavailable for Frankfurt vs Tottenham
Porro isn’t the only player unavailable on Wednesday, and Micky van de Ven has not travelled with the squad.
Frank said: “He also hasn’t travelled, it’s a minor thing. He could possibly be available for the weekend.”
Van de Ven is Tottenham’s best player, and the centre-back has been crucial to Spurs’ season so far.
The 24-year-old found the back of the net against Burnley, and he has scored four league goals under Frank, the most of any centre-back in the top flight in 2025-26.
He has a pass accuracy of 89.5 per cent, and is a real asset to how Spurs like to build up possession from defence.
Reports emerged on 21 January that Van de Ven wants to leave Tottenham because they aren’t performing well this campaign.
He is one of the Premier League’s best defenders, and fans will be praying that he makes a return for Sunday’s huge clash with Man City.
As Spurs enter a crucial period in their season, the likes of Van de Ven and Porro are players that Frank would desperately want to be fully fit.
However, there won’t be any excuses if his side fails to win in Germany against Frankfurt.
