Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar.

Potentially the most important 90 minutes of Tottenham Hotspur's season so far, the Lilywhites welcome AZ Alkmaar to North London for Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg.

Ange Postecoglou's men could not recover from an unfortunate Lucas Bergvall own goal in the Netherlands last week, succumbing to a chastening 1-0 loss in the first leg of their knockout battle.

However, Tottenham flaunted their powers of recovery in Sunday's Premier League showdown with Bournemouth, fighting back from a two-goal deficit to hold the European-chasing Cherries to a 2-2 draw.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with AZ, who enjoyed the luxury of an Eredivisie-free weekend ahead of the second leg.

Type of injury: Other
Possible return date: March 13 (vs. AZ)

Ben Davies did not make the matchday squad for the clash with Bournemouth, although he had "progressed" in his recovery before the weekend and will seemingly be in with a good chance of making the cut on Thursday.

Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown

Richarlison was initially on track to make his comeback from a calf injury this month, but he remains out of contention for the time being, and there is no timeframe on his potential return.

Radu Dragusin

Radu Dragusin will be in the care of the doctors for months, as the Romanian defender is on the mend from the season-ending ACL injury he suffered in January's Europa League win over Elfsborg.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR'S SUSPENSION LIST

Rodrigo Bentancur

Return date: March 16 (vs. Fulham)

Rodrigo Bentancur was cautioned for the third time in the 2024-25 Europa League in the first leg, and the Uruguayan midfielder must therefore sit out Thursday's match through suspension.

In addition, Yves Bissouma and Bergvall are both on two yellow cards and will miss the first leg of any potential quarter-final if they are booked this week.
