Tottenham Hotspur’s season under new manager Thomas Frank has been defined by excitement and frustration in equal measure. The Danish coach, who succeeded Ange Postecoglou in the summer, has introduced his trademark intensity but has seen his plans disrupted by an unprecedented number of injuries. Several of Spurs’ most important players, including new arrivals, have endured spells on the sidelines, forcing Frank to improvise with his line-ups in the opening weeks.
Below is a comprehensive injury update on the squad, providing insight into who could return soon and what it means for Tottenham Hotspur’s ambitions.
Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke Edge Closer to Returns
Two of Tottenham Hotspur’s key attacking signings have had their progress stalled by injury. Randal Kolo Muani,brought in on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to add pace and dynamism up front,has managed only a single 13-minute cameo in the Champions League against Villarreal. Just as he appeared ready to return, Frank revealed another setback: “Minor injuries both of them. It’s just too short a turnaround unluckily.” The French forward is now targeting a return away to Leeds United on 4 October.
Dominic Solanke’s ankle problem has been equally disruptive. The former Bournemouth striker, expected to be a central figure in Frank’s system, suffered the injury in pre-season against Reading. While he has since resumed light training on grass, he was not fit enough for the recent clash with Wolves. Frank reassured supporters last week that it was “an ankle injury that’s just been a little bit tricky. Nothing big. We are relatively positive that it will be relatively quick.” Spurs hope to have him back for the home game against Aston Villa on 19 October.
