Tottenham boss Thomas Frank confirmed forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are “both fine” after being involved in a “minor accident” ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match at Eintracht Frankfurt.
The pair’s accident meant they did not travel with the squad, but they are due to fly out on Tuesday evening, and Frank “fully expects” both to be available for the game in Germany.
Kolo Muani and Odobert took part in opening training at the club’s Hotspur Way facility in Enfield, but pictures circulated on social media that showed the pair standing next to a black Ferrari that had sustained damage to the right side of the car.
It is understood that the two players were travelling in separate cars, and it was Kolo Muani’s car that had a tyre blowout. Odobert was following his team-mate in his own car and had pulled over out of concern.
Spurs boss Frank confirmed later on Tuesday that everyone involved in the accident had emerged unscathed ahead of the Champions League clash against the Bundesliga side.
Frank said at his pre-match press conference: “Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine.
“Everyone involved in that accident is fine.
“It was a tyre blowing up, so the two of them are a little bit delayed, but they will land later tonight.”
He added: “They are fine – it was on the way to the airport.”
Asked whether they are in the right frame of mind to play on Wednesday, the Dane replied: “That is my absolute understanding on everything.
“I haven’t spoken to them personally yet because the first message is that they are fine.
“They are flying out later, and I fully expect both to be available for tomorrow.”
