Thomas Frank confirmed that Lucas Bergvall will miss our next two matches as we follow protocol after his concussion against Chelsea on Saturday.
That means the midfielder will have to sit out our UEFA Champions League MD4 match against FC Copenhagen at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday evening (8pm UK), plus the Premier League clash against Manchester United back in N17 on Saturday (12.30pm UK).
Meanwhile, Thomas is hopeful that Mo Kudus and Djed Spence will be available after picking up knocks against Chelsea.
All three missed training on Monday, of which the first 15 minutes were open to the media – and it was put to Thomas in his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way that Djed, Lucas and Mo weren’t training.
Thomas said: “Lucas got a concussion (against Chelsea), which was probably pretty obvious from the footage. Big praise to the medical team, because it's a tricky situation to be in when it's two minutes into a game and everything is on it. So, well done to them because it's the player’s health that's the most important thing. Djed and Mo got a knock. They could and should be available for tomorrow.”
Asked later if protocol meant Lucas would miss a certain number of games, Thomas replied: “Yes, he's out for the next two games.”
