Thomas Frank has delivered a worrying injury update as Tottenham prepare for a crucial Champions League clash away at Bodo/Glimt.
Thomas Frank is set to manage in only his second ever game in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, and this time he takes his side on a demanding trip away from home.
Tottenham Hotspur make the long journey to the Arctic Circle to face Bodo/Glimt in matchday two of the League phase, and Frank will be hoping his side can build momentum by making it two wins from two in Europe, following their opening victory against Villarreal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The two clubs have met twice in recent years, with Tottenham boasting a perfect record, having come out on top in both of their previous encounters with Glimt.
Thomas Frank gives Tottenham injury update before Bodo/Glimt clash
Frank’s men were held to a draw in their last Premier League outing, and the manager will be eager to see a stronger response from his squad as they turn their focus back to European competition.
Speaking to Tottenham’s official channel, Frank has now provided an update on his Tottenham squad, with some key names now stepping up their recovery work.
Footage from today’s training session revealed that Yves Bissouma, Kota Takai and Ben Davies have returned to the grass; however, forwards Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, who have both been carrying injuries, remain out.
Frank still has long-term absentees, with Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison all sidelined.
Cristian Romero also missed training on Monday, but Frank ensured it was a precaution more than anything.
Speaking on the fitness of his squad ahead of the Bodo/Glimt tie, Frank told the Tottenham media team: “Start with Dom, he got that ankle issue that’s been bothering him.
“We’ve decided to make a minor surgery, a small procedure, he misses today. We’ll know more after the international break.
“Randal Kolo Muani we’re on top of his dead leg so that’s good and Cuti [missing open training] was just a precaution.”
