TOTTENHAM have suffered a huge blow to their Champions League aspirations as Destiny Udogie is out for the rest of the season.
The Italian is also set to miss this summer’s Euros.
Udogie revealed on Instagram that he has undergone surgery on an injury.
He did not specify what the problem was.
Udogie posted snaps from his hospital bed with friends and family by his side.
The left-back wrote: “An injury brings my season to an early end. It doesn’t take away from how grateful I am to every person that has supported me this year.”

Udogie is set to be sidelined for three months, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano.
It is devastating news for Spurs and could damage their fight for a top-four spot.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are fifth in the table – three points behind fourth placed Aston Villa.
Udogie joined Tottenham in the summer of 2022 and was immediately loaned back to Udinese for the rest of the season.

But finally getting his chance in the Premier League this term, he has impressed and featured 30 times in all competitions.
Udogie’s form saw him earn his first call-up to the Italy squad back in October.
He has since earned three international caps – but Luciano Spalletti’s side are set to be without him at the Euros as they face Albania, Spain and Croatia in the group stage.
