Tottenham are preparing for Saturday's Premier League clash with Fulham following their dramatic 5-3 Champions League defeat to PSG
Thomas Frank insists there is still no timeframe on the highly-anticipated returns of Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke.
The attacking duo are on the comeback trail after undergoing knee and ankle operations, respectively.
But speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League home match against Fulham, Frank refused to be drawn on exactly when the duo will be back in action.
When asked about the frustration of being without two integral players, the Dane replied: "It's part of it. We get judged when we walk into a fantastic club like this. There are expectations every day, on every performance. That's part of the game. No problem with that.
"I'd love to have them ready to play for us, but they're unavailable, other players need to step up. It's much easier to say they're in, when available, rather than put a timeframe on it."
Tottenham will be without captain Cristian Romero, who had a tough night on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes against PSG, as he is suspended.
The Argentine picked up his fifth caution of the campaign in last Sunday's 4-1 North London Derby defeat at Arsenal.
Frank also added that fellow centre-back Radu Dragusin is not yet ready to start despite recently playing 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Leyton Orient.
He said of the Romania international after revealing Spurs picked up no fresh injuries against PSG: "Nothing changed from the Arsenal and PSG games - obviously suspension to Cuti. Radu [Dragusin] is not able to start yet but he's progressing in training."
Tottenham have generally been impressive on the road in the Premier League but their home form is a major issue.
Only basement boys Wolves have picked up less points (one) than Spurs' five on their own patch in six top-flight matches this term.
Frank is trying to restore focus as ninth-place Tottenham are still in touch with the Champions League places despite their patchy form.
He continued: "We're facing a completely different game on Saturday, a game where we hopefully will be more on the ball and need to open Fulham up.
"I think actually Fulham, maybe they don't have the points they want, I've watched a lot of their games, they've performed well, they've been quite unlucky with some results but it will be a different challenge but I'm pleased with the performance response we got from the players against PSG, we did the aggression in the high pressure, the forwardness, the intensity we played with should have earned us a point or points, but a bit of randomness, some set-pieces, game management and we didn't and that's the bit we need to learn from.
"Every decision I take is to do everything I can to win the next game. I'm very aware that we need to win the day after tomorrow and the day after that and so on."
