Manchester United are hoping to make it four wins from five Premier League matches when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank has admitted Mohammed Kudus will be "touch and go" for the visit of Manchester United this weekend.
United travel to north London on Saturday lunchtime looking to replicate Chelsea's performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Defeat to Enzo Maresca's side was met with large boos from the home fans last weekend and the Reds will be hoping they can recreate that atmosphere this weekend.
When asked about team news in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Frank admitted that Kudus could be missing from his squad. "Yes, everyone came through [the game against Copenhagen] well," the Danish head coach explained.
"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."
Since his summer transfer from West Ham, Kudus has managed just one goal for Spurs but has grabbed five assists for the club. While Frank faces an anxious wait on Kudus, United are currently in a strong position with injuries.
Ruben Amorim addressed United's improved injury record during his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon. "It's not a change, there's one game every week and then, again, a little bit luck," the Portuguese head coach explained when asked about the nearly clean bill of health at the club.
"Sometimes you have problems with players with knocks. It's not something... soft tissues, and you never know what's going to happen in the next training. If you play with intensity in training, anything can happen.
"But I think the big reason is one game every week. You can give an extra day to the players that you know that could struggle in the next training, so I think that is the big reason."
United and Spurs enter the game level on points with Tottenham holding a significantly better goal difference. Were either side to win on Saturday, they will move into second in the Premier League table.
