Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie will not play again this season due to injury.

The left-back has been in sensational form for Spurs this campaign and, along with right-back Pedro Porro, has been a huge part of how Ange Postecoglou's team play. After linking up with the first team after returning from his loan spell with Italian side Udinese, Udogie has made 30 appearances in all competitions for Tottenham this season.

The 21-year-old, who has scored two goals and also has three assists to his name, will be a big miss for the remaining six games as Spurs bid to finish in the top four. Aston Villa currently occupy fourth in the Premier League but the Lilywhites have two games in hand.

With Udogie unable to play any of the remaining six games, Postecoglou will need to call on one of his back up options to replace the Italian. football.london takes a look at the players who could replace Ugodie in the Spurs team.

Ben Davies could very well come back into the team in his usual position. The 30-year-old has played for Tottenham 18 times this season, both at left-back and centre-back.

The 30-year-old played at left-back against both Brighton and Wolves in February, although his best form this season arguably came during Spurs' centre-back injury crisis when he was forced to play in the heart of defence for nine Premier League games in a row during November and December.
