Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Saturday afternoon as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers (8pm kick-off UK time).
Spurs have enjoyed a positive start to life under Thomas Frank with Tottenham currently third in the Premier League table after five matches. The Lilywhites showed spirit last weekend after fighting back from 2-0 down to earn a point at Brighton - ensuring they have lost just once in the league all season.
Tottenham now take on a Wolves team who have endured a disastrous start to the season with five defeats from five in the league. Below is the latest on Spurs' injury situation ahead of Saturday's clash at home to Vitor Pereira's men.
Dominic Solanke
Solanke has not played for Spurs since the 2-0 win over Manchester City in late August as he continues to struggle with a lingering ankle injury. He stepped up his comeback bid out in training last week, but Wednesday’s Carabao Cup third-round clash with Doncaster came too soon for a return.
Possible return date: Unknown
What Frank has said: “It's an ankle injury that's just been a little bit tricky. Nothing big. We are relatively positive that it will be relatively quick.”
Kolo Muani
Muani has only featured once for his new club so far as a late substitute in the Champions League win over Villarreal last week. The striker was not fit to line up in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Brighton or against Doncaster due to a dead leg that has yet to heal.
Possible return date: Unknown
What Frank has said: “Dead leg is just dragging on. Little bit annoying... he will not be available."
Yves Bissouma
The midfielder is yet to play under Frank this season. He was left out of the squad that lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup for disciplinary reasons and has been missing since due to injury.
He continues to be recovering.
Possible return date: Unknown
What Frank has said: “I think, to be fair, he has just started to run outside, so he is not part of the group. That I actually don't know [when he will return]. Of course, I know [about his recovery], but [a return] is further down the line."
Dejan Kulusevski
Kulusevski's knee injury has been one that has forced the attacker to be out of action since the end of last season. He underwent surgery in May and has played no point in Frank's reign at the club.
Reports had suggested that he was out until 2026 but the Spurs boss has refused to put a timeframe on his return.
Possible return date: Unknown
What Frank has said: “No Kulusevski, he's out. That's a longer one, I don't want to put a timeframe on it.”
James Maddison
Maddison had looked set to play a big part under Frank this season but he ruptured his ACL in pre-season. The midfielder has since undergone surgery and is expected to be out for a long period of time.
Possible return date: Towards the end of the season
Radu Dragusin
Another ACL injury with Dragusin still out since February. There is hope that the centre-back will return to training over the break but Spurs are expected to be cautious with his return.
Possible return date: Unknown
What Frank has said: “Dragusin is on the way back and he's been running for a while,” Frank said. “I think he should join the team in a week's time, 10 days' time, I think that's the thing, so that's positive, but of course it is an ACL. I'm always a little bit more, not worried, but just aware that it takes time.
“When you've been out of football for nine months, you know, you need to get in. It's not enough to have a six-week pre-season. You need to take a little bit more time, but it's positive and some surprise and come back quicker, of course.”
Kota Takai
The summer signing picked up a plantar fascia issue during pre-season meaning he is yet to make his Spurs debut. He missed the pre-season friendlies against Reading, Wycombe and Luton.
Possible return date: Unknown
