Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 1/28/2026
Training in full
Palhinha (undisclosed) was spotted training in full on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Frankfurt, according to Sam Tabuteau from The Standard.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha missed the last three games due to an undisclosed injury but the midfielder was spotted training in full on Tuesday during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Frankfurt. This is good news for the Spurs since he will add a new option to the midfield for coach Thomas Frank, although he should regain a rotational role now that Pape Sarr is back from international duty.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Spurs permanently
Tottenham want to sign Joao Palhinha to a permanent contract, according to TALKSport.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha has enjoyed an excellent start to life at Tottenham and is keen on staying with the club. Bayern would also be open to letting him leave, as he never adjusted to life in Germany. Sounds as if a permanent transfer from Bayern to Spurs would be a move that would satisfy all parties.
