Tottenham Hotspur have been left with a fresh injury concern after a senior player was left behind in North London ahead of the club’s Champions League tie with Bodo/Glimt in Norway.
Thomas Frank will be looking for a swift response from his Tottenham Hotspur team when they face Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday night.
While Spurs have not suffered defeat in their last four outings, back-to-back draws in the Premier League feel like a missed opportunity, particularly with points dropped against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.
However, as is always the case in football, there is the chance to put things right quickly, and Tottenham will not have to wait long, with Bodo/Glimt their next opponents in the Champions League.
Cristian Romero ruled out of Tottenham squad to face Bodo/Glimt
Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media ahead of Spurs’ clash against Glimt in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.
The Spurs boss has since provided an injury update on his Tottenham squad, confirming that Dominic Solanke is set to miss out once again following minor surgery, while Kolo Randal Muani is progressing well after picking up a dead leg.
Frank also revealed that Cristian Romero took no part in first-team training for precautionary reasons, raising concern over his availability ahead of the European tie.
Those fears have now been confirmed, with Alasdair Gold reporting that the Tottenham captain has not travelled with the rest of the squad for their matchday two Champions League tie.
Frank said when asked for further information on Romero’s absence: “Romero was just a precaution.”
Spurs eye response as they return to Norway
Spurs made the trip to the Arctic Circle on Monday afternoon as they prepare to take on Bodo/Glimt for the third time this year.
Last time out, Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory in the Europa League at the Aspmyra Stadion, with Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke on target for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Frank will be hoping for a similar outcome as Spurs look to get back to winning ways and extend their 100 per cent record in the Champions League this season.
