Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder Wilson Odobert was expected to return in around January after tearing his ACL in the winter of the 2025/26 Premier League season, just when he was beginning to click under Thomas Frank and show his best stuff on the wings, especially on the right wing.
Roberto De Zerbi even told reporters around the Crystal Palace game that his versatile young Frenchman would not be back until January. However, it appears a return could be sooner than expected, just as with Xavi Simons.
And as Odobert's injury came before Simons's own ACL tear, the attacker will be back even sooner, too. Tottenham announced on social media that Odobert is back in training with the team and working his way back into action.
