Tottenham injury update: Randal Kolo Muani, Destiny Udogie, Dominic Solanke latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Thomas Frank’s list of injured players has grown heading into the busy festive period

Tottenham face two more big games this week after they eased the pressure on Thomas Frank with a 2-0 win against Brentford.

They then travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday looking to build some momentum in the Premier League.

Frank has fresh injury concerns over Randal Kolo Muani and Destiny Udogie, while Spurs fans are still waiting for the return of Dominic Solanke.

With that in mind, here is the latest Tottenham injury news and return dates…

Randal Kolo Muani

Randal Kolo Muani impressed against Brentford but was substituted after 74 minutes.

Frank was not asked about Kolo Muani after the game but the on-loan striker was later seen limping as he left the stadium.

Kolo Muani has started for Spurs in seven of their last eight matches and has established himself as a key part of their attack in the absence of Dominic Solanke.

Spurs are due to train on Monday morning ahead of the Slavia Prague game and Frank is then due to provide an update on Kolo Muani in his press conference on Monday afternoon.

Potential return date: Tuesday, December 9 vs Slavia Prague (H)

Destiny Udogie

Frank confirmed Destiny Udogie has suffered a soft tissue injury after the left-back was left out of the Spurs squad against Brentford.

Udogie, who played the full 90 minutes in last week’s 2-2 draw with Newcastle but was seen hobbling towards the end of that match.

Asked how long Udogie will be out for, Frank said: “Not too long. He got a soft tissue injury, unfortunately, against Newcastle.”

Potential return date: December 2025

Dominic Solanke

Dominic Solanke has not played for Spurs since August because of a troublesome ankle injury.

Solanke recently refused to put a timescale on his return but Frank provided his latest update on the striker last week and the striker does not appear to be close to a return.

Asked about Solanke and fellow long-term absentee Deki Kulusevski, Frank said: "When they are ready to really be close to being involved in the squad, then I will give more information.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Radu Dragusin

One long-term absentee who is close to a return is Radu Dragusin, who stepped up his comeback from a serious knee injury in a behind-closed-doors friendly last week.

Dragusin, who has been out since January played 65 minutes against Dagenham and Redbridge after playing 45 minutes against Leyton Orient last month.

Speaking after that match, Dragusin: "It felt good, first minutes in 10 months out, finally minutes in the legs and I just have to build on this.”

Potential return date: December

Dejan Kulusevski

Another player with a shot at a comeback before the end of the year is Dejan Kulusevski.

Kulusevski has been out since the end of last season with a patella injury but he was back on grass during last month’s international break.

Frank has said previously there is a “good chance” that the playmaker could return in 2025 but his comeback will not be rushed.

Potential return date: Late December

Kota Takai

Yet to feature for Spurs since signing from Kawasaki Frontale in the summer, Kota Takai joined Dragusin in lining up with the U21s against Dagenham last Tuesday.

Takai completed the first half of that match but it is still not clear when the defender will be ready to return to the first team.

“First of all, I am just glad I finished without getting injured,” Takai said. “And now, I want to work hard toward making my debut for the first team next.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Yves Bissouma

Yves Bissouma is another player yet to make an appearance for Spurs this season.

He missed the UEFA Super Cup in August for disciplinary reasons and then was stretchered off just minutes after his return to action for Mali while on international duty the following month.

Bissouma has since had surgery, with Frank revealing in October that the defensive midfielder had suffered ankle ligament damage.

James Maddison

Having undergone surgery on a torn ACL sustained in a pre-season meeting with Newcastle, James Maddison is expected to miss most if not all of the 2025-26 season.

Potential return date: Summer 2026
