Bergvall timeline, Solanke update, Gray latest - Tottenham injury news and return dates

Thomas Frank has provided an update on Lucas Bergvall. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was forced to come off in the opening minutes of the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday night due to a concussion.

He joins a long list of players who are still out of action. Fortunately, though, a few big names returned to the matchday squad at the weekend, with Cristiano Romero, Destiny Udogie, and Wilson Odobert among those who featured off the bench against the Club World Cup champions.

Spurs will be determined to return to winning ways on Tuesday night when they host Copenhagen in the Europa League. So, with that being said, football.london has rounded up all the latest Tottenham injury news.

Lucas Bergvall

According to The FA's guidelines, after an initial 24 to 48 hour period of 'relative rest', Bergvall will be allowed to undergo a graduated return to full daily activity. The 19-year-old midfielder will be allowed to train, but 'at a rate that does not worsen existing symptoms'.

The FA have a 'Graduated return to play' (GRTP) programme, which could keep Bergvall out of action for a minimum of 21 days. The sporting body also have an 'Enhanced care pathway' for players over the age of 18, which permits RTP after 12 days – or after seven days so long as exceptional criteria is met.

What Frank has said: "That was a concussion. So he totally couldn't stay on and I think the medical team did a good job in that aspect. And even if he wanted to stay on, it's the right decision that he stays on. Of course, we would have loved to have him continue. That's why we picked him in the starting XI. Unfortunately, that couldn't happen."

Expected return date: End of November.

Archie Gray

Gray suffered a calf injury in training ahead of Tottenham's clash against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup fourth round. 19-year-old midfielder, who was expected to start the tie, has struggled to force himself into Frank's side this season.

Expected return date: December.

Dominic Solanke

Solanke underwent a minor ankle procedure last month to repair an issue first suffered during pre-season.

What Frank has said: "[He is] very aware that we want him back. Hopefully touch wood have him back and no setbacks. We are very aware of doing it the right way. It's going in the right direction.

"He'll not be available before the international break - that's the status now. If he was fit enough, he'd have been involved Wednesday. He's ready to be involved tomorrow, let's see how much."

Expected return date: End of November.

Radu Dragusin

Dragusin has recently returned to first-team training as he looks to rebuild his fitness following a serious knee injury. The 23-year-old defender has been sidelined for nine months, so it could be a while yet until Frank gives him a start.

Expected return date: End of November.

Ben Davies

Davies has been nursing a hamstring injury. The 32-year-old defender was forced to come off in Wales' 4-2 defeat to Belgium in a World Cup qualifier back in October.

What Frank has said: "Ben has got a hamstring injury, so it'll probably be around four or five weeks [out for him].

Expected return date: End of November.

Dejan Kulusevski

Kulusevski had surgery on his knee in May. Frank hopes to welcome the 25-year-old midfielder back to action before the end of the year.

What Frank has said: "Still not on the grass. Working very hard to get him fit as quick as possible."

Expected return date: December.

Yves Bissouma

Bissouma hasn't played for Tottenham yet this season. The 29-year-old midfielder was left out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup due to disciplinary reasons, and then he suffered an injury while out on international duty with Mali.

What Frank has said: "Biss, unfortunately, had a situation with the national team, I think everyone saw that, so he got a ligament injury to his ankle that will keep him out for weeks."

Expected return date: Unknown.

James Maddison

Maddison remains out with a knee injury after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during a pre-season friendly against Newcastle. The 28-year-old midfielder is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season.

Expected return date: End of the season.

Kota Takai

Takai suffered a plantar fascia injury in his foot shortly after joining Tottenham in the summer. The 21-year-old defender was dealt a slight setback on his road to recovery.

What Frank has said: "Kota is a quad problem. He's about to be training, soon."

Expected return date: End of November.
