The real reason why Pedro Porro was missing from Tottenham training today | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Pedro Porro is undergoing assessments with a muscular issue ahead of the game on Saturday.

Following the victory on the weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion, Ange Postecoglou has been handed a couple of potential injury concerns.

The Australian had virtually a fully fit squad to choose from for the game last weekend, but it seems as if that could soon change.

Pedro Porro undergoing injury assessment

On Thursday, the club held an open training session at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for fans to watch the side train ahead of the game in N17 on Saturday.

And two key players were missing from the session with neither Destiny Udogie or Pedro Porro spotted at the ground.

Following the open session in north London, the reliable Paul O’Keefe has taken to X to provide an update on the Spanish right-back: “Pedro Porro has had a muscular issue that’s being assessed. Destiny Udogie has not trained fully this week whilst they investigate his issue.”

Porro to be late decision

Adding to his update, O Keefe also claim the two full-backs will be assessed ahead of the game on the weekend against Gary O’Neil’s side – who are missing a key player themselves.

Losing one of these players for the game on the weekend would be bad enough, but losing both would a huge concern.

Just as we thought our injury crisis was behind us, it seems to have reared its ugly head once again.

Porro is one of the few players who we have not lost to injury this season, but it seems as if he may have now been struck by the injury curse.

We have been without Udogie for a number of games through injury and suspensions this term, however.

One thing which will be sure, though, is Ange Postecoglou will not be looking to take any risks with either of the full-backs.

But we can perhaps take some positives from O Keefe’s update in that, even if they miss the weekend, it might not be long-term absences given they are not already ruled out for the weekend.
