# Tottenham news today: Udogie injury blow, Van de Ven to Manchester United and relegation prediction

At a glance:

- Roy Keane makes Tottenham prediction
- Destiny Udogie suffers injury blow
- Van de Ven wanted by Manchester United

Tottenham’s trip to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday could make or break their Premier League season.

They are without a win in the competition in 2026 and desperately need three points to get out of the relegation zone.

Ahead of the game, Roy Keane has made a fresh prediction on Tottenham, who could be without Destiny Udogie for the game.

## Roy Keane tips Tottenham to avoid the drop

After Nottingham Forest and Leeds United picked up important wins in recent weeks, they have climbed the table to move away from the drop zone.

At this point in time, it looks like one of Tottenham or West Ham United will go down, with the two sides separated by just two points in the Premier League table.

And now, [Keane feels Tottenham will avoid the drop](https://readtottenham.com/2026/04/23/roy-keane-doubles-down-on-tottenham-relegation-prediction-ahead-of-wolves-clash/) at the expense of Forest.

It’s a surprising claim, to say the least, but the former Manchester United captain feels Forest’s European campaign could work against them.

Here’s to hoping Keane is right.

## Destiny Udogie suffers injury blow

The Italian returned from injury after the international break as a hamstring injury kept him out of action for nearly two months.

Udogie has started each of De Zerbi’s two games in charge of Tottenham and was expected to keep his place for the game against Wolves.

And now, he has suffered a fresh injury blow, although the nature of his problem or the timeframe remains unclear at this stage.

De Zerbi will speak at his pre-match press conference tomorrow, so expect to hear an update or two from the boss.

## Manchester United want Van de Ven

Micky van de Ven has been linked with a Tottenham departure for a while now.

After two strong seasons in North London, his form has dipped this season, although he continues to be a key player for the club.

And now, [Manchester United have been linked with a move for Van de Ven](https://readtottenham.com/2026/04/23/transfer-rumours-manchester-united-want-to-sign-van-de-ven-from-tottenham/) as they aim to shore up their ranks in the centre of the park.

It remains likely that Van de Ven will leave in the summer regardless of whether Tottenham avoid relegation.

In the meantime, though, he is expected to play a key role under De Zerbi as the relegation battle prepares to draw to a close.
