The second part of the season for Wilson Odobert (21 years old) turns into a nightmare. The French Espoirs international was indeed injured in the 35th minute of the match between Tottenham and Newcastle yesterday on behalf of the 26th day of the Premier League (1-2), having fallen badly on his kneecap. This change therefore left major concerns with the Spurs staff before half-time. At present, the injury appears to be very serious as the 21-year-old suffers from a ruptured anterior ligament in his left knee. Sources close to the English club (16th) even declared that the young player who played for PSG would certainly undergo surgery in the coming days, which could jeopardize his end of the season.
Author of 2 goals and 4 assists in 33 games this season under the orders of Thomas Frank, now ex-coach of Spurs, he could now leave a big void in the offensive sector of the poorly ranked Premier League. As a reminder, he’s not the only one to be benched for some time. Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison and Mohammed Kudus are still in the infirmary and remain indeed unavailable.
