Thomas Frank reveals positive injury update on Cristian Romero and Tottenham trio

Thomas Frank has provided an important update on the injury situation at Tottenham ahead of the Leeds United trip, including news on Cristian Romero.

Tottenham Hotspur have been forced to settle for back-to-back draws in the Premier League, first sharing the points in a 2-2 encounter with Brighton before being held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves.

However, despite dropping points in consecutive matches, Thomas Frank’s side remains in a strong position in the league table, sitting third with 11 points collected from a possible 18.

Liverpool and Arsenal are the only sides above them, leaving the Lilywhites well within reach of the early pace-setters.

Attention now turns to their next challenge, a Saturday lunchtime meeting with newly promoted Leeds United, and Frank will be eager to see his team return to winning ways to keep up the pressure at the top of the table.

Thomas Frank delivers Tottenham injury update

Coming into this weekend’s fixture, Thomas Frank still has injuries to manage, with a number of his first-team stars unavailable, although the manager has now provided a fresh update on their recoveries.

Cristian Romero was the most recent player to be added to the list, with the Tottenham captain left out of the squad that travelled to Norway for precautionary reasons.

Meanwhile, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remain long-term absentees, with no return date set for the two attacking midfielders.

Radu Dragusin, on the other hand, continues to build up his sharpness after spending several months sidelined with an ACL injury suffered back in February, and he has since returned to training.

There is, however, some good news, as Kota Takai, Ben Davies and Yves Bissouma are also now on the green at Tottenham’s training centre, but it remains to be seen if they will be in contention this weekend.

Dominic Solanke has undergone a minor surgery on his ankle, while Randal Kolo Muani continues to nurse a dead leg, although their injuries are not considered serious and they are expected to return in the near future.

Speaking to the club’s official channels, Frank gave an update on the situation: “Romero is fit and available and will start tomorrow. That is promising news. That was contact to the foot and I think medical did a good job to get that turned around.

“Dom was a minor procedure to the foot, it went well. We will know more after the international break.

“Kolo Muani has been on the pitch the last two days so that is a positive. Kolo Muani will not be in the squad tomorrow. Kota is getting better and better. He’s trained with the team for 10 days, so that’s promising.”
