Tottenham’s troubled season took another twist after Randal Kolo Muani was involved in a car crash ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League clash in Germany.
The French forward smashed his Ferrari after a tyre blowout while driving to Stansted Airport for the team’s flight to Frankfurt.
Kolo Muani was unhurt, with team-mate Wilson Odobert pulling over to check on him. Both players travelled later and are expected to be available.
Spurs boss Thomas Frank said: “That is my absolute understanding of everything. I haven’t spoken to them personally yet. They are fine. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine. It was a tyre blowing up… They will fly out later and I fully expect both to be available.”
Frank’s problems deepened with Pedro Porro ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury and Micky van de Ven also missing the trip. Spurs can still seal a last-16 spot with a win over managerless Frankfurt.
