Mykhailo Mudryk Faces Extended Absence with Ankle Injury at Tottenham Hotspur

Mykhailo Mudryk's Injury Puts Him Out for Several Weeks

Mykhailo Mudryk, the winger on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, suffered an ankle injury during training this week. Reports from Alasdair Gold indicate he will be sidelined until after the upcoming international break in October.

This news comes shortly after Mudryk made his first competitive appearance in nearly two years, entering as a late substitute in Spurs' 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest on September 5, 2026.

Background on Mudryk’s Recent Journey

Mudryk's arrival at Tottenham was unexpected. Once a £100 million signing for Chelsea three years ago, he struggled during his initial Premier League season and then faced a 20-month doping ban, which was eventually overturned. His stint at Spurs marks a chance to regain form after a long absence from competitive football.

The injury means Mudryk will miss several key matches, including the upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton, the Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool, and the following league game against Aston Villa. He still has a way to go before reaching peak fitness and contributing significantly to the team.

Reactions and Outlook

Many fans had mixed feelings about Tottenham signing Mudryk, but some saw it as a low-risk move with potential upside, given his past performances under Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk. Unfortunately, this setback delays any chance of seeing that potential realized soon.

An update from Fabrizio Romano suggests the injury is more serious than initially thought, with Mudryk expected to be out for six to eight weeks.
