At a time when Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham desperately need results, the treatment room at Hotspur Way still remains busy. Timo Werner joined some of his teammates on the injury table at the beginning of the week and now there are question marks hanging over Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson's fitness ahead of Sunday's game at Everton.

Despite the big numbers still working their way back to fitness, Postecoglou has received some positive news on the injury front with Ben Davies likely to be in a position to make the squad at Goodison Park after over a month out. Fraser Forster has also recovered from illness and could possibly return to the matchday 20 unless the boss wants to keep Brandon Austin ahead of the experienced goalkeeper in the pecking order.

Ahead of a huge week of football with Tottenham needing to return to winning ways, we have taken a look at those in the treatment room and when they are expected to be back on the pitch.

Guglielmo Vicario

Guglielmo Vicario will be hoping to return from injury ASAP now that Tottenham have Antonin Kinsky between the sticks. The Czech ace has made an instant impression in north London and he is certainly someone who can challenge the Italian for his starting spot in the months ahead.

Speaking ahead of the Newcastle United game at the start of the month, Postecoglou issued an update on Vicario's fitness and stated that he could be back towards the end of February.

"He's on schedule," he said. "It's obviously when it's a fracture, there's a kind of set schedule for him being in a boot, how much weight bearing he can do, and then sort of getting clearances along the way, so he's still sort of on the same timelines of end of February, I think was the initial prognosis, nothing's really changed in the short term."

Return date: Going on Postecoglou's comments about a possible return for Vicario at the end of February, Spurs' final game that month is at home to Manchester City on Wednesday, February 26. March will start with an FA Cup fifth round tie providing they progress past Aston Villa on Sunday, February 9.

Destiny Udogie

Destiny Udogie has not featured for Tottenham this year after suffering a hamstring injury in the draw against Wolves at the end of 2024. Postecoglou confirmed that his player faces a six-week absence, meaning it will be in February when he likely returns to action.

Return date: The FA Cup game away at Aston Villa would mark six weeks on from his injury against Wolves. Tottenham's following game after that comes at home to Manchester United seven days later.

Cristian Romero

It shouldn't be too long at all now until Cristian Romero is back on the pitch for Tottenham. The World Cup winner returned from a toe problem to face Chelsea in early December but he left the pitch after just 15 minutes with a new muscle injury.

Postecoglou has mentioned previously that it should be the end of January when Romero is available once again.

Return date: A slated return of the end of January could mean a comeback against Elfsborg in the Europa League or Tottenham's first game of February at Brentford.

Micky van de Ven

Micky van de Ven is also in the same boat as Romero with a return at the end of January mentioned. The Dutchman has not made an appearance for Tottenham since the home defeat to Chelsea in early December after picking up another hamstring injury.

Return date: A return at the end of January could mean a comeback against Elfsborg in the Europa League or Tottenham's first game of February at Brentford.

Rodrigo Bentancur

Postecoglou explained prior to the Tamworth FA Cup game that Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a concussion in their Carabao Cup win over Liverpool. Out for a couple of weeks because of it, the player's return may possibly come next week as Wednesday will mark a fortnight since the Liverpool game.

Return date: A possible return next week at Hoffenheim or the home game against Leicester City.

Yves Bissouma

There are now doubts over Bissouma's fitness heading into Sunday's Premier League game at Everton. Speaking in his press conference on Friday afternoon, Postecoglou explained that the midfielder is sore from the midweek defeat at Arsenal.

Return date: All will become clear on Sunday.

Brennan Johnson

Johnson is another player who is a doubt for this weekend. Postecoglou revealed that his player has a calf complaint and that he's just waiting for information on the Spurs duo.

Return date: All will become clear on Sunday.

Timo Werner

The head coach also mentioned in Friday's press conference that Werner faces three to four weeks out of action. The German picked up a hamstring injury in the FA Cup win over Tamworth last Sunday and was subsequently ruled out of the North London Derby.

Return date: Three to four weeks on from when he suffered the injury could mean a potential return against either Brentford, Liverpool or Aston Villa in early February.

Wilson Odobert

Tottenham fans will likely have to wait until the back end of the season to see Wilson Odobert in action once again. Suffering a hamstring injury against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup before doing likewise against AZ Alkmaar the following month, the Frenchman went under the knife as a result and Postecoglou told football.london in November that "obviously Wilson will be out for a fair chunk of the season".

Return date: Later this season.
