Mudryk set to be out for number of weeks with ankle injury

Tottenham winger Mykhailo Mudryk is set for around six to eight weeks on the sidelines after injuring an ankle in training.

The 25-year-old is understood to have sustained the injury on Monday and is currently believed to be in protective boot.

Mudryk joined Spurs from Chelsea on a season-long loan on deadline day - making him the first player to move between the clubs in 17 years - and came on as a 74th-minute substitute in Saturday's goalless draw at Nottingham Forest, which was his first senior appearance since November 2024.

The injury coincides with a three-week international break and a return in October is considered a realistic prospect.

The Ukraine international - who had also been expected to accept a call-up to the his national team squad - was handed a four-year ban in December 2024 after testing positive for banned substance meldonium, but in July this year he was cleared to return to professional football after resolving his doping case with the Football Association.
