Team news | Kolo Muani in contention to face Villa | OneFootball

Thomas Frank reports that Randal Kolo Muani is set to join the squad for our Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (2pm).

The striker has been laid low with a dead leg since making his debut against Villarreal in the Champions League on 16 September.

He's been back on the training pitches at Hotspur Way for the last fortnight - including playing 45 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford last week - and is now ready to step back into action.

Asked about Kolo Muani's fitness at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Thomas answered: "Kolo Muani has trained for two weeks with the team, that's good. He looks better and better and is in contention for the squad on Sunday, so that's a positive.

“It's very important to have him fit and available. I think he looks better and better. I think it's also fair to say that he has trained two weeks with the team and when he came on the 1st of September - time flies! -  he still needed a bit to go up to the higher level. But it's not to say that he can't be involved tomorrow and maybe can play minutes. But I think it's fair to say that he needs a little bit of time to get up to a full level.”
