Randal Kolo Muani had only recently recovered from a dead leg and was beginning to string together a run of starts for Tottenham. Thomas Frank had even suggested that there was more to come from the French striker as he built up his fitness and sharpness.<\/p>\n
However, Tottenham\u2019s injury woes continued on Saturday when the on-loan PSG forward had to be taken off at half-time due to a new injury. It was later confirmed that Kolo Muani had suffered a broken jaw, forcing him to withdraw from the France squad ahead of their World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that Kolo Muani could be sidelined for six to eight weeks, with the possibility of a longer absence if surgery is required. This is a major setback for Thomas Frank as Spurs approach a busy period in their season. Assuming an eight-week recovery, Kolo Muani could miss the following 12 matches:<\/p>\n
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: 22nd November<\/p>\n
Paris Saint-Germain vs Spurs: 26th November<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham: 29th November<\/p>\n
Newcastle United vs Tottenham: 2nd December<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Brentford: 6th December<\/p>\n
Spurs vs Slavia Praha: 9th December<\/p>\n
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham: 13th December<\/p>\n
Spurs vs Liverpool: 20th December<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace vs Spurs: 28th December<\/p>\n
Brentford vs Spurs: 1st January<\/p>\n
Tottenham vs Sunderland: 4th January<\/p>\n
Bournemouth vs Tottenham: 8th January<\/p>\n
The only positive update for Spurs comes in the form of Dominic Solanke, who is recovering after ankle surgery at the end of September. Tottenham have not provided a precise timeline for his return, opting for a cautious approach. On Saturday, Frank expressed hope that Solanke could play before the end of the calendar year, though he may still be several weeks away from returning to action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
