Randal Kolo Muani could miss 12 matches for Tottenham Hotspur after the striker’s latest injury blow.
The Frenchman had only recovered from his dead leg a few weeks ago and was finally starting to get a run of starts under his belt.
In fact, Thomas Frank even predicted there was more to come from Kolo Muani as he works his way up to full fitness and sharpness.
However, Tottenham’s bad run of luck with injuries continued on Saturday, with the on-loan PSG man being taken off due to an injury at half-time.
It was subsequently confirmed that Kolo Muani had suffered a broken jaw and had withdrawn from the France squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The 12 matches Randal Kolo Muani could miss for Tottenham
Some sources have claimed that Kolo Muani could be out of action for six to eight weeks and that the timeline could be even longer if he requires surgery.
That is the worst possible news for Thomas Frank, just as Spurs enter a very busy period in their season.
Assuming the Frenchman misses eight weeks of action, here are the 12 matches that he could be unavailable for:
- Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: 22nd November
- Paris Saint-Germain vs Spurs: 26th November
- Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham: 29th November
- Newcastle United vs Tottenham: 2nd December
- Tottenham vs Brentford: 6th December
- Spurs vs Slavia Praha: 9th December
- Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham: 13th December
- Spurs vs Liverpool: 20th December
- Crystal Palace vs Spurs: 28th December
- Brentford vs Spurs: 1st January
- Tottenham vs Sunderland: 4th January
- Bournemouth vs Tottenham: 8th January
When will Dominic Solanke be back on the pitch for Spurs?
The one good news for Spurs is that Dominic Solanke is now on the mend after having ankle surgery at the end of September.
However, Tottenham have not given an exact timeline for the England international’s return, with the club seemingly taking things slow and steady with the former Bournemouth man.
On Saturday, Frank said he is hopeful Solanke will play before the end of the calendar year, which suggests that the striker may still be several weeks away from returning to the pitch.
