Questionable for Thursday Udogie (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's Carabao Cup match against Manchester United, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Impact Udogie could return immediately after being injured in the club's last outing. He is now questionable for Thursday.

Impact Udogie was originally thought to be taken off the field due to injury but recent reports have changed that narrative, with it now known he was only taken off due to fatigue and to preserve the player.

Impact Udogie underwent surgery in April and couldn't finish the 2023/24 season on the field, but it seems the left-back could be ready for the season opener against Leicester in mid-August. Udogie might be lacking a bit of match fitness since he spent the preseason rehabbing from the injury, but if he looks ready, it wouldn't be shocking to see him in the starting lineup once the league campaign starts, as he started in all of his 28 appearances in 2023/24.

Impact Udogie has missed just one Premier League match and could already be nearing a return. When fit he's been the clear top choice at left-back in all competitions. Ben Davies got the start last time out, but unless Udogie is still struggling with injury, Davies will return to the bench.

Scores goal and gives two away Udogie scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Brentford.

Impact Udogie had a poor performance for his standards Wednesday as two of his lazy passes were intercepted and led directly to Brentford goals. The second one was especially bad as he attempted to pass the ball back to Guglielmo Vicario and did not see Brentford's Ivan Toney right by him. Toney easily intercepted the pass and then calmly beat Vicario to cut Spurs' lead to 3-2 and give his side a chance. Although those two mistakes were very poor, he also had a moment of brilliance at the start of the second half as he made a run into the box, played a one-two with Timo Werner and scored his second goal of the season, a goal that sparked Spurs' three-goal barrage in an eight-minute span to take the match over. Udogie also tied a season-high with six clearances and created two chances for the fourth time this season in his full 90 minutes of action.

Suspension served Udogie is now an option for Thursday's contest against Brighton after serving his one-match suspension on Saturday against Everton.

He should return to the starting XI against Brighton, sending Emerson back to the bench after starting in the defense in place of Udogie.

Impact Udogie picked up another yellow card in Friday's win, his fifth of the season which means he will miss next Saturday's match versus Everton and will be eligible to return Dec. 28 at Brighton. Udogie had a solid match outside of that though as he kept his first clean sheet of the season, contributing one tackle, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Signs new contract Udogoie signed a new contract on Tuesday, as he will remain with the club until the summer of 2030.

Impact Udogie will be extending his time in London, having agreed upon a contract that will keep him with the club for at least another six seasons. The defender joined the club last season before being sent out on loan, and this campaign, he has turned into one of their most important pieces, being a great two-way player on the left side of the defense. He has made 14 appearances for Tottenham so far and will look to build on that, as he seems to be considered a crucial player in their future after signing his extension.
