Tottenham press conference LIVE - Thomas Frank on Cristian Romero, transfer window and Van de Ven

1 hour ago 3

Thomas Frank will have plenty to talk about as he holds his press conference on Thursday afternoon ahead of Tottenham's trip to Manchester United in the Premier League.

It is the first time the Dane will have spoken since the winter transfer window closed with the supporters left frustrated at the lack of signings in the final days despite Spurs' major injury crisis with mostly long-term absentees. Frank had spoken about the need for quality options to turn to during games and also pushed the merits of a loan signing or two but in the end Tottenham believed they could not find anyone of the required quality.

After the window closed, Tottenham captain Cristian Romero spoke out in an Instagram post about the lack of players at the club 24 hours after the 2-2 draw with Manchester City, saying: "Great effort from all my teammates yesterday, they were incredible. I wanted to be available to help them even though I wasn’t feeling well, especially since we only had 11 players available - unbelievable but true and disgraceful.

"We’ll keep showing up and taking responsibility to turn this around, working hard and staying together. All that’s left is to thank all of you for being there and for always supporting us, the fans."

Frank will be asked about that post from the captain, reports that the Argentine wants to leave this summer and the latest on the skipper's illness and Micky van de Ven's injury as well as Dominic Solanke's ankle ahead of the trip to Old Trafford on Saturday.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Frank. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Hotspur Way.
