Thomas Frank gives injury update on Tottenham star set to start against Fulham

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that Randal Kolo Muani will be fit to start against Fulham this weekend. The striker, who returned from a muscle injury only to suffer a jaw fracture, has been playing in a protective mask and impressed during Tottenham’s recent fixtures. He starred against his parent club Paris Saint-Germain, scoring twice and providing an assist.

Frank said: “Nothing has changed since the Arsenal and PSG games – obviously there’s the suspension to Cuti [Cristian Romero]. Radu [Dragusin] isn’t ready to start yet, but he’s progressing well in training. Kolo Muani will be fit enough to start against Fulham. He performed very well, his best performance so far. The challenge is managing three days between games, finding the right balance of energy, intensity, and structure on the pitch.”

Kolo Muani’s performances have shown he deserves a starting role. After coming off the bench against Arsenal, he has proven his quality in subsequent matches. In the Champions League clash against Copenhagen, he recorded his first Tottenham assist, and his display against PSG demonstrated his ability to dominate at the highest level.

In the PSG game, Kolo Muani scored twice and assisted Richarlison, showcasing his skill, movement, and chemistry with the strike partner. Frank’s experimentation with a 4-4-2 formation paid off, as the pair combined to deliver one of Tottenham’s most potent attacking displays this season, despite the 5-3 loss.

With Kolo Muani fit and in form, he is expected to start against Fulham and continue his key role in Tottenham’s attack
