Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has hinted that Mohammed Kudus could still feature against Manchester United.
The Ghana international was absent last time around as Tottenham secured a 4-0 win over Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Xavi Simons came in for Tottenham and grabbed an assist despite putting in yet another frustrating performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Lilywhites will be hopeful of welcoming back their summer signing from West Ham as Tottenham prepare to host Man United on Saturday.
Frank has now revealed via his press conference on 7 November that Kudus’ chances of making the squad against Ruben Amorim’s side are uncertain.

He said: “Yes, everyone came through [the game] well. The ones that had been out for a small spell, Cuti [Cristian Romero] and Dest [Destiny Udogie], responded well. Kudus is touch and go for tomorrow.“
Mohammed Kudus could transform Tottenham
Brennan Johnson was sent off against Copenhagen as he was handed a direct opportunity to replace the Ghanaian in the starting 11.
The 24-year-old may have blown his chance, despite getting on the scoresheet, especially if Kudus makes his return against the Red Devils.
The former Ajax man may have only missed one game for the Lilywhites, but he would be a big miss if he were absent in the upcoming Premier League clash.
The winger was a rare bright spark in the defeat against Chelsea last time out as he arguably came the closest to netting for the home side.
Kudus took three shots off in North London and also attempted six crosses, while also completing two dribbles.
He maintained the positivity surrounding his performance, achieving a 96 per cent pass accuracy, and also won eight duels, which can only be seen as a positive.
Having him back against United could prove to be a game-changer, following a positive start to life in North London.
Kudus has been star man for Tottenham under Thomas Frank
Spurs’ number 20 has been electric since signing him from West Ham in the summer, and was a miss against Copenhagen.
The 25-year-old has already contributed to five Premier League goals, the most in the Tottenham squad alongside Richarlison.
Having a dangerous wide option available against Man United’s 3-4-3 formation could prove to be game-changing against unpredictable opposition.
Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot featured as wing-backs for the Reds last time around, with both representing potentially ideal opposition for Kudus if he features.
