Destiny Udogie's hamstring injury has added to the list of problems Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is dealing with right now at the club.

The 22-year-old left-back suffered the injury in the opening five minutes of the second half of the 2-2 draw against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday and Udogie is not expected to return to full fitness and sharpness for Spurs until late February at the earliest as he faces up to eight weeks out.

The Italian's injury means that Postecoglou must select a side to face Newcastle on Sunday from a squad that could be missing as many as 10 first team players through injury or suspension, if Richarlison and Mikey Moore, who were set to return to training this week, are not yet involved.

Spurs have some huge matches on the horizon, including two Carabao Cup semi-final legs against Liverpool as well as a North London Derby, during a series of games that could decide what direction their season heads in. Postecoglou will deliver the latest update on the timeframe of Udogie's injury at his press conference at Hotspur Way on Friday afternoon.

Going with the eight-week expectation, here are the games that Udogie could miss if we're taking it as eight weeks from the date of the injury on December 29.
