# Tottenham Hotspur: Alasdair Gold relays news as Malachi Fagan-Walcott suffers ‘severe’ injury blow

**Writing for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/talented-tottenham-defender-loan-spell-20214915), Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has relayed news that defender Malachi Fagan-Walcott has suffered a fresh injury blow that his Dundee boss described as ‘[severe](https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-loanee-malachi-fagan-walcott-to-return-to-parent-club-tottenham/)‘ – with the youngster’s loan north of the border now cut short.**

### Fagan-Walcott suffers injury blow

Fagan-Walcott, who made his senior debut for the Lilywhites during their Champions League second leg tie against RB Leipzig in 2020, was sent out on a temporary spell to Dundee in a bid to accumulate more game time.

However, as Gold relays this news, the Lilywhites man has now suffered a fresh injury blow after recovering from knee surgery before January – with the player now returning to north London as a result.

Dundee manager James McPake provided a bleak assessment when first confirming the scan, revealing that Fagan-Walcott’s injury was ‘[pretty severe](https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-loanee-malachi-fagan-walcott-to-return-to-parent-club-tottenham/)‘ and it is in fact a tendon problem.

### Transfer Tavern take

Time will tell exactly when Fagan-Walcott returns from this latest injury setback, but it certainly comes as another blow in his bid to become a regular Tottenham first teamer in future.

Having recovered from surgery to then pick up a serious tendon problem, the 19-year-old will be hoping his latest fitness issues don’t keep him off the field for too long in a detriment to his development.
