A scary moment for Tottenham's Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert, but thankfully, no serious injuries. The duo was involved in a car accident on their way to the airport, with Kolo Muani's car suffering a tire blowout. But here's the twist: despite the incident, both players are expected to feature in the Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt!
The accident occurred on Tuesday, and photos on social media showed the players standing next to a damaged black Ferrari. The club's head coach, Thomas Frank, confirmed that both players are 'fine' and will travel to Germany for the game. He stated, 'It was a tyre blowing up, so the two of them are a little bit delayed, but they will land later tonight.'
This incident comes at a crucial time for Tottenham, who are aiming to secure a top-eight finish in the Champions League. With 14 players already out, the team can't afford any more injuries. But Frank remains optimistic, saying, 'We have a great opportunity to secure a position in the top eight... Be very positive, we're looking forward to that.'
However, the club has been dealt another blow with defenders Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven ruled out of the Frankfurt game. Porro is set to miss four weeks with a hamstring injury, while Van de Ven's absence is described as 'minor.'
Despite the challenges, Frank believes things are moving in the right direction for Tottenham. But is he right? With the team's domestic struggles and the fanbase's discontent, is a top-eight finish in the Champions League enough to turn things around? Share your thoughts in the comments!
