The Tottenham Hotspur team has experienced another unfortunate player absence due to physical issues.
The Spurs are currently navigating the season with a significantly reduced number of available players in the Premier League, a situation impacting Thomas Frank, who is managing without key players such as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Another Tottenham Player Expected to Miss Time Amidst Growing List of Injuries
This issue appears to be a recurring challenge for Tottenham in recent years, as previous manager Ange Postecoglou faced similar circumstances during his final year with the team.
According to data from Premier Injuries, Tottenham currently has 12 players dealing with various individual physical setbacks, with another player now added to this extensive list.
Forward Randal Kolo Muani is now facing his own physical challenge as the international break approaches, stemming from a collision with Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
Referee Sam Barrott chose not to penalize the incident, despite Kolo Muani showing visible signs of pain on the field, leading to Wilson Odobert substituting him at halftime.
“He [Kolo Muani] had some difficulties, but it wasn’t anything major,” Frank mentioned to reporters following the thrilling 2-2 draw during Saturday’s early match in north London.
Reporter Fabrice Hawkins has now indicated that the former PSG player might be sidelined for a longer period than initially anticipated.
“Randal Kolo Muani’s physical issue is more significant than originally assessed. Tests this morning revealed a fracture in his jaw. As a result, he will not participate in the French national team’s training camp and will be replaced by Florian Thauvin.”
With Solanke still in recovery, the offensive responsibilities have largely fallen to Brazilian player Richarlison, who has tallied four goals and two assists over 11 appearances.
Mathys Tel entered the game as a substitute and managed to score against Manchester United in their recent match. However, news of this additional setback will undoubtedly be a source of disappointment for Frank, especially with a demanding schedule approaching during the holiday season.
