Tottenham are preparing for a crucial Champions League game vs Monaco, but Thomas Frank will be without Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.
Tottenham Hotspur’s attention now turns to UEFA Champions League action, where they will take on AS Monaco on Wednesday night.
It is a trip to France, and with it being an away tie, Thomas Frank might fancy his chances given Spurs’ dismal home record.
The Dane watched his Tottenham team fall to yet another home defeat at the weekend, with Aston Villa beating his side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2-1, despite Spurs taking an early lead.
Coming into the clash against AS Moncao, Frank will be hoping that the fitness of his squad improves, as he has a few injury concerns to contend with.
The Dane’s 22-man Champions League squad is set to be tested for the first time this campaign, with almost ten first-team players expected to miss Wednesday night’s clash.
Cristian Romero remains a doubt, with Frank revealing that it is touch-and-go with the centre-back.

Destiny Udogie is also nursing an irritation to his knee, and it remains to be seen whether the full-back will be fit enough to feature against the French side.
Dominic Solanke is still out, while unregistered players James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, Mathys Tel, and Takai cannot render any services to the Dane.
Kevin Danso is fit and could come in for Romero, but Ben Davies remains sidelined following an injury during the international break.
Frank has now provided an injury update on his squad ahead of Wednesday’s encounter. On Cristian Romero, he said (Football London): “It’s an adductor strain. We will assess it more this week before we confirm any timeframe.” When asked if fans should be worried, he added: “No, I don’t think so, it’s a strain.”
On Destiny Udogie, he said: “No [he has not travelled], the latest is that he got that knee irritation after international duty. We are assessing and working very hard to get on top of it. We’ll know more day by day.”
