Players back for Spurs ahead of Arsenal clash but Solanke remains sidelined | OneFootball

Thomas Frank has provided a positive Tottenham injury update ahead of the north London derby with Arsenal, though says Dominic Solanke is still not ready to return.

Frank says Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, Randal Kolo Muani, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Kota Takai, Archie Gray and Mohammed Kudus have all trained ahead of the Arsenal clash.

Kolo Muani suffered a facial injury against Manchester United and will be forced to wear a mask, but is available to play.

“They are good, most of them,” Frank said.

“Pape trained today. He’s ready, available. Lucas trained today. Ready, available. Kolo Muani, yes. Trained today. Available, of course has a mask [he] needs to play with.

“Radu, very happy. He has probably been in that for a couple of weeks now. Full training, full in, everything. With the team, played his first 45 minutes in nine months, something like that, last Wednesday, I think it was. Very happy with that. Trained fully today.

“Now he’s definitely getting very close to being able to be selected. Now it’s just a matter of performance and probably just a few more game minutes to be fully available. Kota and Ben both trained with the team today, so that’s also positive.”

Frank is also optimistic that Solanke will be able to return soon following ankle surgery.

“And Dom is not ready yet,” Frank said. “I think he also had an article recently where he spoke about it.

“So we are very, as I said, the same. Very aware that when we put him out there, we want to be absolutely sure, as sure as we can be, that no setback going forward. So I’m comfortable he will soon be ready, but I will not put a timeframe on it.”
