Tottenham’s injury curse continues, with new signing Mykhailo Mudryk now having suffered an ankle injury.Mudryk made his first competitive appearance in nearly two years when he came on as a substitute in Tottenham’s 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.After the game, Roberto De Zerbi admitted that the winger needs time to work up to his physical peak, but the 25-year-old’s progress has now been set back considerably.The Ukrainian was spotted wearing a protective boot this week, and he was nowhere to be seen in training. The worst fears of Spurs fans have now been confirmed.Photo by Maynard Manyowa/News Images/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesMykhailo Mudryk could miss eight weeks of football for TottenhamIt emerged on Wednesday that Mudryk has suffered an ankle injury and would miss Tottenham’s next three matches.However, Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that the winger’s injury is much worse than previously thought.The journalist claimed that the on-loan Chelsea man is expected to be on the treatment table for around six to eight weeks.Romano wrote on X: “Mykhaylo Mudryk has suffered an injury and will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks from now.
