Thomas Frank has provided an update on how Tottenham are looking in the treatment room going into Sunday's North London Derby against Arsenal
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed EIGHT injury boosts ahead of their trip to Arsenal in the North London Derby on Sunday.
Pape Matar Sarr picked up a knock while playing for Senegal during the international break, but trained on Friday and is fit to face the Gunners. Lucas Bergvall missed two matches before the two-week hiatus due to concussion, but he is back available. Randal Kolo Muani suffered a jaw fracture during Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Manchester United, though he is free to play with a mask.
Mohammed Kudus did not feature in the clash against United or either of Ghana's two matches this month as a result of a knock, but he trained on Friday and there is optimism that he will be fit to face the Gunners.
Radu Dragusin, meanwhile, injured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament earlier this year and made his return in a behind-closed-doors friendly last Wednesday. He is "very close" to being back in the first-team squad, though Sunday's trip to Arsenal is expected to come too soon.
Ben Davies suffered a thigh issue while playing for Wales in October and hasn't featured since, though he trained on Friday with the rest of his Tottenham teammates. The same can be said for Kota Takai, who hasn't yet made his debut for Spurs after joining from Kawasaki Frontale in July.
Archie Gray has been dealing with a calf strain but he trained with the team on Friday and could be poised to return to the squad for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Delivering an update on side's injury situation, Frank said in his pre-match press conference: "They are good. Most of them. Pape trained today and is ready and available, Lucas also trained today and is available.
"Kolo Muani, trained today, available with a mask of course.
"Dom is not ready yet. I think he also had an article recently about where he said the same, that we want to be sure that he's ready. I'm confident it will be soon."
Frank added: "Yeah, Radu very happy and he is a couple of weeks full training all in, everything and played first 45 minutes in nine months last Wednesday.
"Trained fully today, now he is getting very close to be selected and now it is a matter of performance and a few more game minutes to be fully available.
"Ben and Kota both trained today. Archie trained with the team as well."
As mentioned, Dominic Solanke, who hasn't featured since the 2-0 win at Manchester City in August, isn't available yet, though there is an expectation he will return to action soon.
Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League table heading into this weekend's short trip across north London, with Frank's side eight points behind leaders Arsenal after 11 matches.
