Cudicini's last game was the 2-2 draw at Bolton at the start of October
Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has left hospital after undergoing wrist and pelvic surgery, but is unlikely to play again this season.
The 36-year-old Italian fractured both his wrists and injured his pelvis in a motorcycle accident.
"I think he will be out for the rest of the season," said boss Harry Redknapp.
"I've never thought about letting a player ride a bike. I didn't even know he had one. We don't let them do it. I'm sure he won't be riding it again."
A Spurs statement said Cudicini was already mobile with the assistance of crutches.
"The current position is that the operations went very well and I am already moving my wrist," Cudicini told the club's website.
"Regarding the pelvis, [the surgeon] would like to check on me every month and at the end of 11 weeks I'll be able to move without the crutches and free to begin my preparations."
After the accident police described his injuries as "potentially life-changing" but Redknapp said they were "relieved that the injuries that he sustained in the accident weren't more serious".
Cudicini was signed by manager Redknapp on a free transfer from Chelsea in January 2009 and has made eight appearances standing in for the injured Heurelho Gomes this season.
He spent almost 10 years at Chelsea, making more than 200 appearances after signing for the west London club from Italian side Castel di Sangro, following brief spells at AC Milan and Lazio. His father Fabio was AC Milan's goalkeeper in the 1960s.
During his latter years at Chelsea, Cudicini played understudy to Peter Cech who has visited the Italian in hospital.
"I've received many emails and cards from team mates, Tottenham and Chelsea fans, people who work at both clubs and from people who don't support Tottenham or Chelsea," added Cudicini.
"All in all it has been a touching reaction from people who support football in general. I want to thank everybody because, for sure, it has made me feel much, much better."
