The numbers behind Tottenham’s astounding recent injury record as relegation fears continue to grow Tottenham’s torrid time with injuries has shown little signs of letting up as the end of the season approaches. Spurs have once again endured a nightmare season with injury problems, having to be without several key players for extended periods. While only one of a number of factors behind the club’s dismal campaign, which looks more and more as though it could end in relegation to the Championship , it has undoubtedly been a big reason behind their struggles.

Those problems have been added to by the news that Mohammed Kudus has suffered a setback in his recovery and looks set to miss the rest of the season, along with defender Cristian Romero who was forced off in tears with a knee injury in the loss to Sunderland. We’ve had a look at the numbers which outline just how much injuries have impacted the club over the last two years… 2024/25 According to Premier Injuries, only Brighton & Hove Albion’s injured players were out for more total days than Tottenham’s last season. Spurs players were injured for a combined 1,553 days last season and missed a total of 193 games.

They suffered 41 injuries in which players were forced to miss games – the third most in the league behind Brighton and Ipswich.

While they ended the season in 17th, there was little danger of relegation given the gap to the bottom three, and also won the Europa League.

But there is no doubt injuries played a big part in their domestic struggles. Many of those who contributed to that record were key players too. Micky van de Ven, Romero, Richarlison, Guglielmo Vicario and Dominic Solanke all missed prolonged periods.
