Thomas Frank is holding a press conference with Mohammed Kudus on Monday afternoon ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League match against Copenhagen.
Spurs remain fifth in the Premier League table but there has been an element of gloom around the club after Saturday's dismal derby defeat to Chelsea. Frank's side created barely anything with their lowest XG since such statistics began with just three shots and one on target at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 1-0 defeat that could have been worse but for a string of saves from Guglielmo Vicario.
After the final whistle, there was a further awkward moment when Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence, who both made mistakes for Joao Pedro's winning goal, ignored Frank's instruction to applaud the home fans and instead walked past him and down the tunnel while he watched them go.
Tottenham had lost 19-year-old midfielder Lucas Bergvall within just a couple of minutes of the contest starting after the Swede took a powerful hit to the side of his head from the ball which left him wobbly on his feet. He was taken off through the concussion protocol and further tests will decide whether the teenager now misses up to 12 days as a precautionary measure.
Frank will deliver further updates on the midfielder as well as any fresh injuries from the defeat to Chelsea and any progress with those already out. Kudus, who has been a shining light for Tottenham since joining, will give his take on the current situation at the north London club.
Our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Frank and Kudus. Scroll down for the latest from the press conference at Hotspur Way.
