Tottenham’s Kolo Muani Safe After Pre-Champions League Car Crash

Tottenham Hotspur forward Randal Kolo Muani was recently involved in a minor car crash ahead of the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Fortunately, both he and teammate Wilson Odobert are unharmed and expected to travel for the game.

Kolo Muani’s Accident Details

The incident occurred on Tuesday, just before the team’s departure for Germany. Coach Thomas Frank confirmed that Kolo Muani, who is on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is fine after the mishap, which was caused by a tire blowing out.

Images surfaced on social media showing Kolo Muani and Odobert next to a damaged black Ferrari. Odobert, who was driving his own vehicle, stopped to assist Kolo Muani after the crash.

Statements from Thomas Frank

  • “Everyone else involved in the accident was fine,” Frank stated during a news conference.
  • He added, “They were slightly delayed but will land later tonight.”
  • On their availability for the Champions League match, Frank expressed confidence that both players would participate.

Team Injury Updates

In addition to the accident, Tottenham has faced further challenges with injuries. Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven did not travel to Germany due to injuries. Frank reported:

  • Porro will be sidelined for four weeks due to a hamstring injury.
  • Van de Ven’s issue is minor, and he may return for the weekend’s match against Manchester City.

Current Team Performance

Tottenham has experienced a challenging period, winning only two out of their last ten matches across all competitions. Fan discontent has risen amid this struggle, even as the team has performed better in European fixtures.

Victory in Frankfurt would ensure Tottenham’s place in the Champions League round of 16, a crucial milestone for the club and Frank, who is under pressure amidst the ongoing domestic difficulties.
