Tottenham prepare for their Premier League clash against Bournemouth with Thomas Frank facing several key injury concerns in his squad, as the new boss looks to continue his perfect start.

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this weekend with a home fixture against Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Thomas Frank will be chasing a third consecutive win since taking charge, after an impressive 2-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in matchweek two set the tone for his reign.

Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth, however, will arrive with confidence of their own, having edged Wolves 1-0 in their last outing, and while their opening day trip to face Liverpool ended in a 4-2 defeat, the Cherries showed enough quality to suggest they will be no easy opponent.

Heading into the fixture, Thomas Frank continues to manage some injuries within his squad, with some senior players still unavailable due to long-term issues.

Among the long-term absentees are James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin, with all three expected to be sidelined for many months before returning to action.

Manor Solomon is understood to be edging closer to full fitness, while Destiny Udogie could return to action this weekend for the clash against Bournemouth.

Yves Bissouma also remains sidelined after picking up a knock in training, with Bissouma’s physical condition ultimately costing him a move to Galatasaray earlier in the week.

Speaking ahead of the match, Thomas Frank has now provided a brief update on his squad’s condition. On Destiny Udogie, he said (Tottenham Official): “Yes, he could [feature tomorrow]. He’ll be in the squad, so that’s very positive for us.”

On Bissouma and Radu Dragusin, Frank added: “I think Bissouma for sure is out of the next game. The specific timeline is more in doubt because I don’t think he will be out for too long. Radu has been running for a while. He should rejoin the team in 10 days to two weeks.”
