Injury setbacks hit Spurs squad
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt another blow with Destiny Udogie ruled out after picking up a fresh muscle issue. The Italian full back had only recently returned from a hamstring problem, adding to a frustrating campaign disrupted by injuries.
“Destiny has a problem, I think he can’t play tomorrow,” De Zerbi confirmed.
“I’m sorry because he played a great first half, the second half as well, but the first one was great.
“But we have Spence, Souza is available to come with us, it’s not a big problem. I hope Destiny can be available next week in Villa Park.”
Djed Spence is expected to step in, offering energy down the flank, though the defensive reshuffle adds another layer of uncertainty for Spurs.

Goalkeeper concerns remain, with Guglielmo Vicario still unavailable. De Zerbi provided a brief update, stating:
“No, Vicario is not available for tomorrow.
“I hope I can work with him from Monday.”

Midfield selection taking shape
In midfield, Tottenham Hotspur are beginning to see some stability. Rodrigo Bentancur is likely to retain his place after an encouraging return, bringing composure and forward drive. Yves Bissouma should partner him, forming a double pivot tasked with controlling tempo against Wolves.
James Maddison’s situation is more delicate. After a long spell out with an ACL injury, he returned to the matchday squad last week but will not feature here.

“No, he’s not available yet, especially this week, he felt pain, but it’s not such an important problem.
“Tomorrow he’ll come with us on the bench because it’s important if he plays or not. It doesn’t matter, it’s better if he plays for sure, but also as a guy, as a leader, as a positive guy.
“Inside my dressing room I want to see nice people, positive people, and it’s important also for his team-mates.”
Pape Matar Sarr also remains sidelined, leaving De Zerbi with limited options in the centre of the park.
Attacking setup and Predicted XI
Further forward, Tottenham Hotspur will look to spark creativity through Xavi Simons and Conor Gallagher, while Randal Kolo Muani offers movement and directness from wide areas. Dominic Solanke is set to lead the line, tasked with converting possession into goals.

With Wolves organised and dangerous on the counter, Spurs must find efficiency in the final third.
Predicted XI, 4-2-3-1:
Kinsky, Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence, Bissouma, Bentancur, Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Simons, Solanke
Pressure building at Molineux clash
Tottenham Hotspur’s position in the table leaves little margin for error. Without a league win since late December, the trip to Wolves represents another opportunity that cannot be wasted.
De Zerbi has spoken about belief and momentum, but results remain the currency that matters. Against a Wolves side comfortable at Molineux, Spurs need a complete performance, one that balances defensive discipline with attacking clarity.
Three points would not solve everything, but it would shift the narrative, and for Tottenham Hotspur, that shift is overdue.
