Mohammed Kudus was forced off in the early exchanges of Tottenham's 1-1 Premier League draw with Sunderland on Sunday

Thomas Frank has revealed Mohammed Kudus underwent a scan this afternoon on his thigh.

The Ghana international was forced off just 19 minutes into Spurs' 1-1 Premier League draw with Sunderland on Sunday with the muscular problem.

Frank has since confirmed Kudus is likely to miss Wednesday's trip to the Vitality Stadium when Tottenham face Bournemouth, explaining: "He went for a scan at 1pm to clarify the issue. I don't have anymore yet. Yes, he's unlikely to be available."

There was positive news, however, on two current Tottenham absentees as they close in on their long-awaited returns to action.

Left-back Destiny Udogie has been missing since early December when he picked up a hamstring strain in the 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

Meanwhile, striker Dominic Solanke is also finally on the comeback trail following minor ankle surgery in late September.

He has played just 52 minutes all season and just 33 of those have come in the Premier League.

Frank said of the pair: "Destiny is training and doing better. Solanke won't be in the squad but [it's] positive and going forward.

"Today you could see in training he's nice and composed on the ball. In the small sided game, he looked a bit more rusty which is understandable after six months out.

"So when he's back in the hopefully near future, it will take time. Very few players come straight back in after six months out and hit the ground running."
