Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro has described his injury blow as a “small bump in the road”.

Fans spotted that Porro was not present at Spurs’ open training session in midweek and Ange Postecoglou has confirmed his absence.

The manager said ahead of Saturday’s game with Wolves that the Spaniard will miss out having suffered a “strain” in training, potentially keeping him out for a fortnight.

The player has now posted on social media that he expects to make a quick return.

“Small bump in the road but same mentality as always,” he wrote.

“Back soon.”

Tottenham will also be without Destiny Udogie and Fraser Forster in north London after they picked up injuries.

Speaking on Friday, Postecoglou said: “We’ve had a couple of setbacks this week. Destiny picked up a little bit of a knock last week and he’s not available for tomorrow.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious … he should be back [to face Crystal Palace]. Pedro picked up a strain in training. Hopefully a couple of weeks for him.

“The major one is Fraser Forster. He’s got a bit of a fracture in his foot, so he’ll miss about two months.”

Spurs are looking for revenge on a late 2-1 defeat to Wolves at Molineux in November, but have lost three of their last four meetings with the Black Country club.
