A comprehensive final update on the injury situations at Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United ahead of their Premier League encounter.
West Ham v Tottenham: Final Injury Update with Six Ruled Out and Two Doubts





West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are set to face off at the London Stadium on Saturday, with both teams hoping to conclude a lacklustre campaign on a high note. Just one point separates the two clubs in the league standings, with Spurs holding a slight advantage, and both sides are in desperate need of a positive result.
Tottenham already have one eye on their Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, but manager Ange Postecoglou will be fully aware of the importance of momentum and is expected to treat this fixture with due seriousness. Here is a full summary of the injury news from both camps following the pre-match press briefings.
Lucas Bergvall – Ruled Out
Postecoglou confirmed that Bergvall is sidelined with an ankle injury. Speaking in his press conference, he said:
"He's hugely disappointed. There’s not much you can say, except that every experience in life and football makes you stronger and helps you appreciate what you have. He’s got an unbelievable career ahead of him, for sure.
I always tell the lads, we’ve got to focus on the present. We might assume things will happen next year or the year after, but life can be unpredictable. Unfortunately, that unpredictability has denied Lucas the chance to feature in a huge match last night. He’s made a massive contribution to the team, and I’ve no doubt he’ll return even stronger. People often think footballers have it easy, but everyone faces setbacks. It’s all part of growth and becoming stronger—and I’m sure that’ll be true for Lucas.”
Heung-min Son – Ruled Out
Providing an update on the South Korean international, Postecoglou stated:
“Sonny’s making progress and is continuing with individual training sessions. He’s back on the grass and is feeling better with each passing day. We’ll assess how he’s doing by Thursday to determine whether he’ll be available.”
Dominic Solanke – Doubt
Solanke was forced off during the match against Bodo/Glimt and remains doubtful for the weekend. Postecoglou said:
“Dom’s not too bad. He’s still a bit sore from last night, but we don’t think it’s anything serious. He’s a doubt for the weekend, but we’re hopeful that it will settle down quickly.”
James Maddison – Ruled Out
Addressing Maddison’s condition, Postecoglou said:
“Madders is a bit more of a concern due to a knee issue. We’ve sent him for a scan and are currently awaiting the results.”
It is highly unlikely that Maddison will feature in this fixture.
Radu Drăgușin – Ruled Out
Drăgușin has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and is not expected to return before the winter. A club statement at the time read:
“Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. The procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now begin recovery ahead of the rehabilitation process.”
Michail Antonio – Ruled Out
Antonio has been ruled out for the season following a leg fracture, and there is no definitive timeline for his return to fitness. He previously commented:
“Yes, 100 per cent, I will play again. They estimate it will take between six to twelve months for my leg to heal properly.”
Crysencio Summerville – Ruled Out
Summerville was initially expected to return in May, but he has since undergone hamstring surgery. West Ham manager Graham Potter stated that he hopes to have the winger back during the “first few weeks of pre-season.”
Edson Álvarez – Doubt
Potter remains hopeful of welcoming Álvarez back from a back injury, although no specific update has been provided regarding his availability for this weekend’s clash.
