Tottenham Hotspur are sweating over the fitness of left-back Destiny Udogie for Thursday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at home to Manchester United.

Udogie, who has started every game in the Premier League this season, was forced off during the first half of Sunday’s 5-0 win at Southampton and Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed he may join Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison in the treatment room.

“From the other night, Destiny has no injury but he is still sore from the game. Not ruling him out but will see how he is with the turnaround,” Postecoglou said.

“Van de Ven and Romero are still chugging along. Both will be in new year. Mikey is back training so hopefully not far away. Next cabs off the rank are Mikey, Ben Davies maybe next week and Richarlison maybe first week of new year.”

Postecoglou also admitted he has been impressed by the impact of United manager Ruben Amorim. United have won four out of his opening seven matches in charge, including Sunday's dramatic 2-1 derby win at Manchester City.

But Postecoglou remains confident Spurs have enough quality to beat United and book their place in the semi-finals.

"[He] seems to have come in and made an impact straight away," Postecoglou added.

"He's obviously tweaked the formation a bit and is giving players an opportunity. But as they showed at the weekend, they are very tough competitors. Looking forward to meeting him.

"I want to win and want to play well. I don't think it's anything new. We'll go out there and try and play our football. If we do, we'll be hard to stop."
