Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has said that forward Randal Kolo Muani, who was involved in a car crash after the offside front tyre of his black Ferrari Purosangue blew out on the motorway on his way to Stansted Airport, is "fine" and is expected to join up with his fellow teammates in Germany to face Eintracht Frankfurt.
On Tuesday, pictures circulated of the 31-cap France international and Wilson Odobert standing next to a damaged Ferrari. Odobert, Kolo Muani's teammate and compatriot, was in a car behind the on-loan frontman, and he pulled over to make sure the 27-year-old striker was safe.
Said images showed major damage to the front of Kolo Muani’s expensive motor, with the windscreen also cracked and the driver's airbag having been deployed.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: In February 2025, Randal Kolo Muani set a record for Juventus by becoming the first player in the three-points-for-a-win era (since 1994/95) to score in each of his first three Serie A appearances
On loan until the end of the 2025/26 campaign from Paris Saint-Germain, the one-time Champions League winner – linked with a move back to former club Juventus – has flattered to deceive during his time in England. As things stand, he's plundered five goal contributions in 23 outings (across all competitions) for the London club.
Spurs Striker Randal Kolo Muani Involved in Car Crash On Way to Airport
The accident happened as the French pair were travelling separately on their way to the airport for the club's Champions League trip to Germany and Wednesday's final league phase match at Eintracht Frankfurt (20:00 GMT). Frank has confirmed that both players will still be travelling to Germany.
While en route to the airport, it was reported the tyre of Kolo Muani's Ferrari blew out. Thomas Frank, ahead of his side's final European clash of the league phase, 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.
The rest of Frank's squad – including the likes of captain Cristian Romero – flew without Kolo Muani and Odobert, but both are expected to join up with the squad and be available for the game in Germany. "It was a tyre blowing up and so the two of them are a little bit delayed. They will fly out later, and I fully expect both to be available.”
Injuries are beginning to mount up for Frank and his entourage in tricky times, and he'll be counting on Kolo Muani and Odobert to make the trip to ensure the Spurs boss.
As things stand, Spurs – despite their substandard form on the domestic stage – are sixth in the league phase of the Champions League and will be in pursuit of three points against Frankfurt, a side they beat in the lead-up to last season's Europa League final win over Manchester United.
Frank's go-to choice at right-back, Pedro Porro, is out for a lengthy period with a damaged hamstring after he came off at half-time of their recent 2-2 draw with Burnley and Micky van de Ven has also not travelled to Frankfurt because of a "minor injury", leave Frank and his entourage with just 11 senior outfield players.
Kolo Muani's Spurs Future as Juventus Hold Interest in Frenchman
Yet to make a splash in England's top flight with zero goal involvements in 15 league encounters, Kolo Muani is being targeted by Juventus, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. However, a deal to bring him back to Turin – a club he spent the latter half of 2024/25 at – will only come to fruition if Spurs terminate their agreement with PSG.
Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Juventus, managed by Luciano Spalletti, have made calls regarding the Frenchman's availability over the past week.
Romano claims there are two main stumbling blocks in terms of Kolo Muani returning to the Old Lady: first, Frank is not willing to lose any more players, especially in an attacking sense and, secondly, Juventus' relationship with PSG has been described as 'frosty', given that a summer move for the player in question fell through.
