After Tottenham Hotspur secured the services of Randal Kolo Muani, we take a closer look at his injury record to find out if Spurs fans should be concerned.
Thomas Frank has said that he expects Dominic Solanke to be back after the international break, but according to some sources, Solanke may spend a significant time on the sidelines.
Some feel that it was the England international’s injury that prompted Tottenham to sign Randal Kolo Muani on transfer deadline day on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain.
Richarlison’s injury record since his move to Spurs also does not make for encouraging reading, which is why Thomas Frank will be hoping that the new Tottenham signing can stay fit through the season.
Tottenham fans do not need to worry about Randal Kolo Muani’s fitness
Spurs fans can sleep well knowing that, unlike the other Spurs strikers, Kolo Muani has a very good fitness record.
According to Transfermarkt, the centre-forward has been unavailable due to fitness issues in just two matches since he began his senior career.
The last of those came in the 2023-24 season, and on that occasion, it was illness, not injury, that put him out of action. It thus appears that Frank can count on the new Tottenham striker to be fit for the entirety of the campaign.

Who will start when Richarlison, Dominic Solanke and Kolo Muani are fit?
Many may expect Kolo Muani to get the nod to start upfront ahead of the other two strikers, but we already know that Frank is a big fan of Solanke.
Meanwhile, Richarlison has started the season very impressively, and despite his struggles against Bournemouth, it would be difficult for the Spurs head coach to drop the Brazilian.
Frank could also use Kolo Muani on the left, with the 26-year-old being no stranger to playing on the wing.
