Tottenham injury update: Micky Van de Ven, Mohammed Kudus and Dominic Solanke latest news and return dates

Tottenham come into the new Premier League season with a familiar problem.

Spurs defeated Hoffenheim in their last pre-season friendly (in front of fans) on Saturday, before a 2-2 draw with the same opponents behind closed doors at Hotspur Way on Sunday.

There were fears that new signing Mateus Fernandes, landed from West Ham for £85million, would not be fit to start the new campaign, but he played the full 90 minutes on Sunday alongside Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield, while James Maddison, on the comeback trail from ACL surgery, was fielded as a false nine, and he played the first half.

There were also appearances for Kevin Danso, Ben Davies and Souza in defence, while Pape Matar Sarr was given a run out as the No10.

On Saturday, it was the players that had had more of a pre-season, with Mathys Tel starring with two assists, and Mikey Moore notched two goals before a proposed loan move away.

£100m man Sandro Tonali came through the match unscathed, and so too did new defenders Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson.

With that said, here is all the latest Tottenham injury news and potential return dates...

Dutch playmaker Simons tore his ACL against Wolves back in April and was ruled out for a year with what is considered to be the worst injury in football.

The attacking midfielder returned to speak to fans ahead of the game against Hoffenheim on Saturday, but he will not feature on the pitch again until at least January next year.

Fans are getting excited after Spurs released social media clips of Kudus striking balls and training with his team-mates after a lenghty lay-off with what has proved to be a tricky quad tendon injury.

The Ghanaian, signed from West Ham in 2025, suffered the problem against Manchester City back in January and has not played for the club since.

He has not featured in pre-season, but it is hoped that the forward will return at some point this month or next.

Kudus had been in line fora return to action in April when De Zerbi took charge, but despite rejoining team training, he suffered a setback.

Now, however, he could be in line for some minutes in the coming weeks, with the Spurs boss saying on the club’s tour of Australia a fortnight ago: "Kudus is very close, I think.
