England's `The Sun' reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Udoji will be banned from playing for the next two months and eight weeks due to a hamstring injury. While center backs Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario were out of power due to injuries, Udoji also fell into the swamp, leaving only one of the main defenders as Pedro Porro. Backup Ben Davies was hurt again during training while preparing to return in the last round.
Udoji was replaced by Sergio Reguilon in the 19th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) against Wolverhampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 30th of last month, complaining of hamstring pain in the 5th minute of the second half. Fortunately, he reportedly avoided surgery.
Tottenham is excluded from the long-term entry due to injuries such as Hishalisson and Wilson Odobert in the attack. The arrow is directed at director Enze Postecoglou.
After Postecoglou took the helm, a large number of players with hamstring injuries occurred. Considering that there was a similar trend in previous clubs, there is an opinion that intensive training and games are factors.

Tottenham drew 2-2 against Wolverhampton, allowing an equalizer at the end of the second half. Seven minutes into the match, Wolverhampton took the lead with Hwang Hee-chan's first goal. But Wolverhampton's lead didn't last long.
Tottenham put the game to square one in the 12th minute of the first half when Rodrigo Bentancur equalized with a header from a corner kick. Son Heung-min had a chance to score a penalty kick in the 43rd minute of the first half.
Brennan Johnson stepped up as the kicker of the penalty. However, he was blocked by Jose, the Wolverhampton goalkeeper, and lost a critical chance in the air. In the process, Hwang Hee-chan informed the direction of the penalty kick, which was not controversial.
Tottenham scored a come-from-behind goal in the 48th minute of the first half with Johnson's help from Dejan Kulusevski. However, he missed three points by giving up an equalizer in the 42nd minute to Jürgen Strand Larsen, who was put in place of Matheus Cunha. Son Heung-min, who remained silent, was replaced in the 19th minute of the second half.
Tottenham has only won one game (two draws and four losses) in the last seven EPL games amid a murderous schedule. The ranks are terrible, too. Tottenham, with 24 points, remained in 11th place.
