Spurs news: Thomas Frank issues double injury update as Lucas Bergvall withdrawn early at Bournemouth | OneFootball

Spurs picked up new injury worries on the south coast

Thomas Frank has issued a worrying update on the shape of Lucas Bergvall after he suffered a fresh injury against Bournemouth.

He appeared to be in considerable discomfort, but walked off under his own volition.

Despite that, Frank issued a worrying prognosis, saying the injury seemed ‘not top’.

"Yeah, of course. I don't know exactly the update,” he explained. “My initial thought is probably not top with Lucas, when he is off second time (in four games)."

Rodrigo Bentancur also seemed to pick up an issue in the second half. He was replaced by Archie Gray four minutes from time, but Frank would not be goaded when asked to issue an update on his condition.

Pressed as to whether the injury could lead him to invest in the transfer market, Frank explained: “As I said, quite a few times we are in the market. The club is working very hard, they can.

“It's difficult in January. We need to get players in that can improve the squad.”

Spurs could have done with the assistance of the injured Mohammed Kudus on Wednesday as they struggled to trouble the Bournemouth back line.

No specific prognosis has yet been offered for the Ghanaian, and Frank could not provide an update on his condition at full time.

He added: "We know more when we see each other tomorrow."
