SpursReceives second surgery
Davies has undergone another surgery on his ankle but is not expected to see an extended timetable for a return, according to Michael Pearlman of the BBC.
Analysis: Davies was set to undergo a second operation on his ankle and that has gone successfully, with the defender out of the operation Saturday. He is not expected to miss further time due to the injury, still set for a return sometime in April. However, it continues to put worries around his availability with Wales for the World Cup play-off games, currently slated to miss the matches.
Will undergo another surgery
Davies is set to have further surgery on his ankle, potentially marking the end of his time in Tottenham, according to Paul O Keefe.
Analysis: Davies will most likely miss the rest of the season as he continues to recover from an ankle fracture. In that case, the defender might struggle to get his career back on track and could be forced to find a new team for the next campaign. He'll also be a major doubt for Wales if they qualify for the World Cup. As for Tottenham, they'll be expected to rely on Djed Spence at left-back.
Set for ankle surgery
Davies will undergo surgery on a fractured ankle, according to his club.
Analysis: Davies was known to have suffered a serious injury but is now heading for a long absence, as the defender will be out for around three months due to a fractured ankle. However, this will depend on his recovery, potentially missing further time if needed, putting his option for Wales World Cup qualifiers to end March in jeopardy. He will now hope for the best possible recovery as the club loses a bit of depth, potentially opening up more time for Radu Dragusin, but ultimately not changing much.
Suffers serious leg injury
Davies was forced off in the 19th minute of Saturday's 2-1 defeat against West Ham United due to a serious looking leg injury, according to BBC.
Analysis: Davies was in the starting squad for the third time in the last four games across all competitions for the Spurs but may have to wait some time before getting another start since he suffered a serious looking leg injury in Saturday's defeat and could miss significant time on the sidelines depending on the upcoming scans. Djed Spence is expected to find back his starting role in the left flank if the injury to Davies proves to be serious.
Off injured
Davies was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Saturday's clash with West Ham.
Analysis: Davies suffered a seemingly serious injury and had to be carried off during the first half of Sunday's clash. It's an awful turn for the defender, who could be set for an extended spell on the sideline. Djed Spence came on to replace him at left-back.
Scores goal in first start
Davies scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Davies made his first start of the season Sunday, stepping in for the injured Destiny Udogie (strain) and playing over Djed Spence. He made the most of his opportunity as he scored Spurs' lone goal of the day, a redirection off a corner assisted by Micky van de Ven. It was one of two shots he put on target, and he also created one chance on the attack. On the defensive end he contributed five clearances, one tackle and one blocked shot before he was replaced in the 88ths minute by Spence. With so much fixture congestion coming up Davies could see more playing time this month, and he proved on Sunday that he can still put in productive shifts.
22 minutes from bench
Davies appeared off the bench for 22 minutes in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Slavia Prague.
Analysis: Davies would make the bench for Tuesday's UCL match and would receive time, as the defender got onto the field for 22 minutes. Luckily for him, this ends an absence dating back to mid-September, out with a hamstring injury. He will likely continue in a rotational role now that he is fit and serve as a depth option, starting in 21 of his 25 appearances last campaign.
Remains out
Davies (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Davies progressed through training this week but is not yet ready for a return, missing out once again. With the defender yet to debut and him inching towards a return, they will likely be cautious with the defender, although he is likely to earn limited minutes either way once fit.
Joins team training
Davies (hamstring) was back in full training ahead of Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Ben trained with the team today."
Analysis: Davies has been out for well over a month now, but he is seeing progress, with the defender joining the team for training. This should clear him for a return after the long absence. He still has yet to play this season after a rotational role last season, likely to return to a similar spot now that he is healthy.
Will be out "weeks"
Davies has suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for "weeks," according to manager Thomas Frank.
Analysis: Davies is hitting the sidelines for another spell of time this season, with the defender now suffering from a hamstring injury that will leave him out for weeks. This is a rough development for the defender, as he has yet to play this season. He will likely miss out until at least after the international break, holding a minor role as a rotational option once fit.
Still not an option
Davies (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Monaco.
Analysis: Davies is still not an option for the club, with the defender yet to debut this season. He will hope for a return soon, although he has no timeline for his availability.
Out versus Aston Villa
Davies (undisclosed) is unavailable for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Davis picked up an injury while on international break and won't be an option for this one. He had yet to appear this campaign.
Suffers apparent injury
Davies (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury during his 100th cap with Wales in Monday's 4-2 loss against Belgium, according to BBC Sport Wales.
Analysis: Davies couldn't make it to the end of his 100th cap for Wales in Monday's clash against Belgium, as the defender was forced off with an apparent injury in the second half. Davies will be assessed once back in London to determine the extent of his injury, but he still has to make his season debut for Tottenham this campaign. Therefore, an absence won't affect the starting squad of the Spurs.
Unused sub in UCL draw
Davies (knee) was an unused sub in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League.
Analysis: Davies didn't see action in midweek, but his presence on the bench suggests that his knee problems are a thing of the past. He's expected to add depth defensively, but he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy value across all formats.
Out with knee injury
Davies is out for Wednesday's match against Doncaster due to a twist in his knee, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Ben will not be available for selection tomorrow. It's a minor injury for him, but it's just too short a turnaround."
Analysis: Davies will be sidelined for Cup action Wednesday, with the defender not making the call due to a knee injury he suffered ahead of Saturday's draw against Brighton. The good news is the injury does appear to be minor, and a return should come soon, only missing again due to the quick turnaround. He has yet to see the field this campaign, so this is a minimal loss for the club.
