Tottenham Hotspur, which narrowly avoided relegation from the English Premier League, has launched an internal investigation into the spate of injuries that hit the squad last season. The club has initiated a full audit to analyze the repeated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and the resulting long-term absences.<\/p>\n

The BBC reported on May 27 (local time) that Tottenham has opened an internal probe into the team\u2019s injury issues this season.<\/p>\n

Tottenham beat Everton 1-0 in the season finale on May 26 to finish 17th and narrowly avoid the drop, but a run of injuries to key players kept them embroiled in a relegation battle throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

Last season, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons each suffered ruptured ACLs. Dejan Kulusevski also underwent surgery for a serious knee injury and effectively missed the entire season.<\/p>\n

The BBC found that Tottenham\u2019s squad availability averaged just 77%, with players\u2019 cumulative missed days exceeding 2,000 \u2014 an unusually high toll even by Premier League standards.<\/p>\n

The club is keeping multiple lines of inquiry open as it investigates possible causes. It has compared the bounce and condition of its home pitch with the training ground and other stadiums, but so far no clear problems have been identified.<\/p>\n

Alongside the audit, Tottenham plans to revamp its player-care system. The club is considering individualized medical profiles for each player \u2014 tracking strength, fatigue, resilience and mental state \u2014 to bolster injury prevention and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Officials are also discussing ways to actively support players who prefer treatment from private medical teams or healthcare providers in their home countries.<\/p>\n

Through this comprehensive internal review, Tottenham aims to identify the root causes of the recurring injury cycle and overhaul its player-management system to prevent a similar situation from recurring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
