Tottenham Hotspur are losing £4.5m per month at the moment, and it is not their fault
A new report has looked into the financial cost of Tottenham’s injury crisis, which continues to get worse with each passing week.
This is the third season in a row where Spurs have been hit with a major injury crisis midway into the season, and the scale of the problem appears to be getting worse each year.
Thomas Frank just about had enough senior players available to him to name an eleven against Manchester City on Sunday, with Cristian Romero being forced to play through illness in the first-half.
Tottenham currently have an astonishing 12 first-team players out injured, which is why some Spurs fans were livid that the squad was not reinforced further in January.
Tottenham are paying more than £1m per week to injured players
Spurs have been without James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison, Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso and Djed Spence in the past month alone.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are paying £1.02m per week to those 12 who are currently on the treatment table, which is around £4.5m per month.
That works out to an astonishing £145,000 each day in wages to players who are currently are not available for selection.
Maddison is the highest earner out of this list, with the attacking midfielder, who could miss this full season, earning £170k a week.
Two key players will be back soon for Spurs
While many on this list are long-term absentees and some are not expected back for a few more months, a couple of key players only have minor problems.
Thomas Frank has said that Micky van de Ven could feature against Man United, while he also revealed that he expects Djed Spence to be back soon.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are still waiting for confirmation on the expected length of Kevin Danso’s absence after the Austrian hyperextended his big toe.
