Thomas Frank has hinted that one Tottenham player may not be fully satisfied with his situation at the club right now.
Having a massive squad is necessary in modern football, given the volume of fixtures clubs face across a campaign.
It is beneficial as teams have options to call on when rotation is needed, especially during runs of poor form or when injuries pile up.
Tottenham Hotspur have certainly benefitted from their depth this season, with Thomas Frank unafraid to alter his midfield, defence and attack when required.
Thomas Frank on limited minutes for Antonin Kinsky
However, Frank barely rotates between the sticks, with Guglielmo Vicario playing in both the Premier League and the Champions League, while Antonin Kinsky has featured twice, both appearances coming in the Carabao Cup.
Spurs are out of the competition, which limits the goalkeeper’s opportunities for minutes, and Frank is aware that the player may not be fully happy with the situation.
Speaking to Football.London, he said about Kinsky: “First and foremost Tony is a very good goalkeeper and has a great future ahead of him.
“It is not easy for any player if you are not playing you are not 100% happy. It is to just keep your head down and train hard.”
Tottenham may need Kinsky amid Vicario transfer rumbles
Vicario has had moments of madness with a few costly errors already this season, but his place has never truly felt under threat.
Kinsky is a young goalkeeper with high potential; however, consistent minutes are required for him to develop quickly, and that has not been possible in recent weeks.
Tottenham are not in a position to rotate heavily in Europe as they are still chasing a top-eight finish, so the Czech international may need to wait for the FA Cup to open a window for more minutes.
There have been talks of Inter Milan showing interest in Vicario, and if the Italian were to leave Spurs in the future, then Tottenham will be hoping that Kinsky is ready to step in as the club’s number one.
