‘Thanks god’ – Tottenham player posts update from hospital bed

Wilson Odobert’s latest Instagram update has sparked curiosity and concern among Spurs fans, with the young winger pictured in a London hospital bed, hinting at a potentially longer recovery period.

A challenging start for Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert’s arrival at Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window brought a sense of excitement, with the 19-year-old winger regarded as one of Burnley’s brightest talents.

His debut season in North London has been anything but smooth, as injuries have plagued his progress, limiting him to just three Premier League appearances so far.

The French youth international’s injury woes began shortly after his arrival, with a hamstring problem sidelining him for nearly a month. After a period of rehabilitation,

Odobert made his long-awaited return to the pitch in Tottenham’s Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar two weeks ago. Unfortunately, his comeback was short-lived, as he suffered a recurrence of the same injury during the match, dashing hopes of a sustained run in the team.

Speaking about the setback, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou described the injury as “significant” and suggested a conservative approach to Odobert’s recovery.

He explained to Football.London: “No, no real time but it’s significant, so he’ll be out. Again, because it’s a reoccurrence we’ll have to be a bit conservative. I’d say a similar timeframe to his last one, maybe a bit longer, but it’s one of those where you don’t want to put a timeframe on it because it will really depend how quickly he heals from it.”

Odobert’s hospital stay raises questions

The latest twist in the winger’s injury story came via his own Instagram account, where he shared a photo of himself in a London hospital bed. The image left little doubt that Odobert is on his way to recovery.

With the festive period looming and Spurs’ fixture schedule intensifying, Odobert’s absence comes at an inopportune time for the club. Injuries to key players, including Richarlison, have left Postecoglou’s attacking options threadbare, making the timing of the 19-year-old’s setback even more troubling.

Spurs’ fans, already accustomed to Odobert’s sporadic availability, are left to wonder when they will see their summer signing at full fitness. While the photograph symbolises the challenges the youngster faces, it also underscores the urgency for Tottenham to find solutions as they navigate a packed festive fixture list.

Spurs speed up Yang Min-Hyeok’s arrival amid injury crisis

Odobert’s ongoing absence has had a ripple effect on Tottenham’s squad planning, with the club reportedly expediting the arrival of South Korean winger Yang Min-hyeok

Initially set to join the team in January following his £3.3m move from Gangwon FC in the summer, the 18-year-old is now expected to link up with Spurs as early as next month.

Postecoglou’s decision to fast-track Hyuk’s arrival highlights the growing need for reinforcements in wide positions. With Richarlison and Odobert both sidelined, Tottenham are relying heavily on their remaining options to deliver consistent performances in an increasingly demanding season.

While Hyuk’s inexperience at the highest level could be a concern, his arrival will undoubtedly bring fresh energy to the squad, offering Postecoglou some much-needed flexibility.

For Odobert, the focus remains on recovery, but his prolonged absence has already shaped the narrative of his first season at Spurs; a tale of promise overshadowed by misfortune.
