Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has provided a reassuring update on two of his key players following a minor road traffic incident on Tuesday. The Spurs boss confirmed that forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert were involved in a car crash while en route to the airport for their Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Details of the Incident
According to reports from the scene, the incident occurred when a tyre on Kolo Muani's vehicle suffered a blowout. Wilson Odobert, who was travelling separately, promptly stopped to check on his teammate and offer assistance. The accident has been described as minor, with no serious damage or injuries reported.
Frank's Reassuring Statement
Speaking to reporters, Thomas Frank was quick to allay any concerns about the players' wellbeing. "Both Randal and Wilson are absolutely fine," Frank stated. "It was a minor incident, and they have been checked over. There are no issues, and we expect both to be available for selection for Wednesday's match."
The manager's comments come as a relief to Spurs fans, with both players expected to feature in the crucial European clash. The incident could have disrupted preparations, but Frank's update suggests the team's focus remains intact.
Broader Team News Ahead of Frankfurt Clash
Beyond the car crash news, Frank also provided a comprehensive update on his squad's availability. The Tottenham medical team will be without the services of defender Pedro Porro and centre-back Micky van de Ven, both ruled out due to injury.
In more positive news, midfielders Pape Sarr and Joao Palhinha have returned to the squad and are available for selection. However, Frank confirmed that several other players remain ineligible for the Champions League fixture, though he did not specify names.
The manager's update paints a picture of a squad dealing with the usual mix of availability issues as they prepare for a significant European away game. The minor incident involving Kolo Muani and Odobert appears to be nothing more than a brief distraction in their preparations.
