Destiny Udogie was ruled out of Tottenham’s Europa League game against Ferencvaros on Thursday, but Ange Postecoglou said the Italy international ‘will be okay’ in a Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday.
Udogie was not available for Tottenham’s away 2-1 win over Ferencvaros yesterday but is expected to recover for the upcoming Premier League match against Brighton.
Speaking at a press conference two days before the next league game, Spurs boss Postecoglou provided a brief injury update on the Italian left-back: “We think Destiny will be okay [for the next match],” the coach said as quoted by Football London.

“We have training today and tomorrow so he has to get through that.”
This means Udogie will likely be fit to play for Italy against Belgium and Israel during the October break.
La Gazzetta dello Sport provided the probable Azzurri squad for upcoming international games, including Udogie among Spalletti’s picks.
The 21-year-old made his senior Azzurri debut a year ago in a 4-0 victory over Malta and has five appearances with Italy’s national team.
He was introduced as a substitute in the most recent matches against Israel and France, providing an assist against Les Blues.
