Zero preseason minutes
Udogie is not part of Tottenham's squad to face Hoffenheim, finishing preseason with no minutes played, the club announced.
Analysis: Udogie had been absent from training for a stretch earlier in preseason, though coach Roberto De Zerbi downplayed any concern over the issue at the time, describing it as precautionary, and his continued absence from matchday squads leaves his readiness for the season opener in question. Andrew Robertson is expected to start at left back against Brentford, with Udogie likely to begin the season on the bench even if he's fully available. Udogie is expected to be reassessed as the club approaches the start of the season.
Held out as a precaution
Udogie has been absent from training for five days, though coach Roberto De Zerbi downplayed any concern over the issue, according to Football London. "He's not working the last five days, I think, like Maddison, but they have not a big problem, just to stay focused, don't take any risks"
Analysis: Udogie's situation reflects a cautious approach from the coaching staff as Tottenham look ahead to their upcoming friendly against Sydney FC. No details on the specific nature of the issue have been provided. The defender is expected to be back in full training shortly as preseason continues.
