Thomas Frank confirms the Tottenham standout will be sidelined until January after suffering a new hamstring setback.

Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning form on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The result ended a difficult three-month run without a home win, their first on their own ground since August.

Focus now shifts to the Champions League, where Thomas Frank’s side are targeting a top-eight finish to avoid extra playoff fixtures next year.

Thomas Frank injury update ahead of Tottenham vs Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague will travel to a full Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday, with Heung-min Son set to make his first return since leaving north London in the summer.

Spurs are eager to make the occasion count by securing a win that could lift them into the top eight, with just two points separating them from that position.

Frank heads into the tie without a fully fit squad, reducing his rotation options. Destiny Udogie remains a doubt after missing the Brentford match, though Frank believes his absence will not be long-term.

Other injured Spurs players are not registered for the Champions League, so their fitness issues will not impact this particular fixture.

Speaking to the club’s media team, Frank provided an update, saying:
“Destiny [Udogie] unfortunately picked up a hamstring injury after the Newcastle game; he’s out until January. Brennan [Johnson] is touch and go.”
