Joao Palhinha
30-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
GTD
Injury Concussion
Est. Return 3/18/2026
Unavailable Sunday
Palhinha (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against Liverpool, according to manager Igor Tudor. "No, Romero and Palhinha out."
ANALYSIS
Palhinha left Tuesday's game against Atletico after a head collision with Cristian Romero in the dying stages of the match, and both players will miss this trip to Anfield. Not having Palhinha shortens the team's midfield depth, as Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (undisclosed) are also out, while Conor Gallagher (illness) is uncertain to suit up Sunday. With all these absences, look for Archie Gray to be deployed in a central midfield role.

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.
