The latest Arsenal injury news as Mikel Arteta's squad enjoy a two-week international break before they return to Premier League action for the North London Derby with fierce rivals, Tottenham Hotspur

Mikel Arteta was missing a number of key players for Arsenal's 2-2 stalemate with Sunderland AFC on Saturday, which potentially proved costly.

The Gunners headed to the Stadium of Light as favourites, despite the Black Cats being unbeaten on home soil so far in the current campaign. However, Arsenal returned to the capital with just one point as opposed to all three, thanks to Brian Brobbey's dramatic late equaliser for the hosts.

Thankfully, the Premier League leaders have a two-week pause to capitalise on as the November international break gets underway, giving Arsenal ample time to rest and recover ahead of the North London Derby, which lands on Sunday, November 23 at the Emirates Stadium.

Here, football.london takes a look at the Gunners' injury list at present, and how long key players like Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are expected to remain out of action...

Viktor Gyokeres

On top of missing Arsenal's game against Sunderland, Gyokeres was also absent from his side's midweek Champions League clash with Slavia Prague as a result of a muscular injury sustained against Burnley. When asked ahead of the Sunderland match on an update on all of Arsenal's injuries, Arteta replied: "Some of them, all of them I don't know.

"There are a lot of things that have to happen in the next two weeks, and everything has to be perfect, but I think we'll be very close with most of them to be in a really strong position."

Predicted return date: Late November

Martin Odegaard

The Arsenal skipper had only just recovered from a shoulder injury when he was subbed off against West Ham with a knee issue last month, and he is yet to return. As it stands, he has played just 204 minutes of Premier League football this season.

Predicted return date: Late November

Kai Havertz

Havertz, meanwhile, has played even less league football than Odegaard, with the German national featuring for just 30 minutes during Arsenal's campaign opener with Manchester United. During the game, he suffered a knee injury that required minor surgery, with Arteta recently explaining that he will need to be monitored before he's ready to return.

Speaking last week about Havertz, Arteta said: "Let’s see how he absorbs the load first when he starts to train with us, and when he’s done that, obviously we’re going to have to, especially in the first few weeks, keep an eye on him to manage the amount of minutes and when we play him."

Predicted return date: Early December

Gabriel Martinelli

Martinelli has missed Arsenal's last four matches as a result of sustaining a knock against Crystal Palace in October, and didn't even make the bench against Sunderland. However, he could be fit to compete once again when the international break is over.

Predicted return date: Late November

Noni Madueke

Despite showing a wealth of potential since making the move from Stamford Bridge, Madueke has missed practically two months of football as a result of a knee injury sustained in September.

Predicted return date: Late November

Gabriel Jesus

Jesus is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury he endured during Arsenal's FA Cup clash with Manchester United in January, and despite returning to training, he remains a little while away from selection as it stands.

Speaking about the striker last week, Arteta said: "It's about making the steps day-by-day in a different surrounding. He's been doing everything on his own; now he's got very competitive players around him, and let's see how he copes with that. But he's full of energy."

The north London club have received some positive news on the France international after his injury suffered against Manchester United

Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani will not require surgery on his fractured jaw, football.london understands.

The 26-year-old, on loan from PSG, had to come off at half-time in Spurs' 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday after a collision with England international Harry Maguire in the 12th minute. "He actually struggled a little bit, but nothing big," said Tottenham boss Thomas Frank of the forward after the game.

However, Kolo Muani, who previously missed a spell after joining the north London side with a dead leg suffered in a training ground collision with Pape Matar Sarr, then had to withdraw from international duty with France and saw a specialist in the UK on Monday afternoon about his jaw.

football.london understands that the specialist confirmed the forward does indeed have a fractured jaw. However, it was a reasonably positive prognosis in that the Frenchman does not require surgery so his recovery time should be less than the six to eight weeks that has been speculated in recent days.

Kolo Muani had just begun to impress up front for Tottenham after regaining his fitness. His more positive prognosis will come as some relief to Frank, who is still awaiting Dominic Solanke's return from an ankle problem that has dogged him since the summer. It leaves Richarlison and Mathys Tel, who both scored against United, and academy product Dane Scarlett as Spurs' only fit senior strikers at the moment.

Tottenham will return to action after the international break with the first north London derby of the season at Arsenal and then a Champions League clash in Paris against Kolo Muani's parent club PSG.

Not all of Tottenham's players are heading off on international duty this week and some are set for extra training with Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank and his coaching staff will be putting some of the Tottenham players through extra work at Hotspur Way during the international break.

The majority of the Spurs squad have made their way off on duty with their countries for the coming fortnight but some will remain involved at the club over the two weeks ahead, either getting in extra sessions with Frank and his staff or recovering from various injuries.

Frank has given his non-international players a few days off this week so many can enjoy a rest along with the boss himself after a string of games that came thick and fast and will continue to do so after the North London Derby at the end of this month.

Then the players will return to Hotspur Way with an under-21s friendly planned during the international break which the Tottenham head coach could use to give some minutes to a couple of players, with Radu Dragusin already set to play in that game.

Dragusin is one of a string of players set to continue to work at the training ground as he continues his progress from his ACL injury back in January. football.london understands the former Genoa defender is expected to participate in some training with Romania during the international break, even though he will not feature in either of their World Cup qualifiers, before returning to work with Frank.

After his recent return from knee problems, Destiny Udogie has also been left out of Italy's most recent squad so once he returns from some time off in Dubai, the 22-year-old left-back will keep working on his fitness with the coaching staff.

Mohammed Kudus has not joined up with Ghana following the knock that has kept him out of the past two Tottenham matches but with Frank saying he was "very confident" the winger would be fit to face Arsenal after the break, that would suggest the 25-year-old hopefully will be doing some sessions with the staff next week.

Striker Dane Scarlett will be getting more time to work with attacking coach Justin Cochrane after his impressive Champions League cameo against Copenhagen and he could get more game time ahead with the attacking injuries in the squad.

Goalkeepers Antonin Kinsky and Brandon Austin will also be remaining at the training ground. Japanese defender Kota Takai has not been pictured training yet after his thigh injury but Frank did tell football.london earlier this month that he was set to return so he could feasibly be involved at some point during this break if he has not had a setback.

Then there are those recovering from injury. Randal Kolo Muani is seeing a specialist on Monday afternoon to get clarity on the jaw injury that forced him off at half-time in the draw with Manchester United and meant he had to withdraw from France duty.

Dominic Solanke will be working on his rehabilitation during this international break from his long-standing ankle problem, but Lucas Bergvall should be available to play for Sweden as he can return from the concussion protocol just before their friendly against Switzerland on Saturday.

Dejan Kulusevski, Archie Gray, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison are still in rehabilitation from their injuries while Ben Davies could feature for Wales despite having been out since the last international break with a hamstring injury he picked up on duty with his country.

"We're still monitoring Ben," Wales boss Craig Bellamy said. "We're fully aware of what's going on with training and all that with him. I know he hasn't played during that period for Spurs but he didn't play in the periods before much.

"Our games have come quite quick. If it had been a longer period I would definitely have been more concerned, but within three or four weeks he's able to maintain his fitness I don't see being that too big a problem. Our physios speak on a regular basis and I speak to Ben quite a lot, so fingers crossed we're able to get to something."

Richarlison thought he had secured Tottenham all three points against Manchester Utd – but Matthijs de Ligt scored an equaliser deep into stoppage time in the Premier League clash

Gary Lineker has called for a rule change after Richarlison was booked after scoring for Tottenham against Manchester United.

Spurs were seconds away from only a fourth Premier League home win in 2025 when the Brazilian scored. However, there was still time for Matthijs de Ligt to head home a dramatic last-gasp equaliser.

Mathys Tel had earlier cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo's first-half header. But Richarlison was booked after he scored, as he took off his shirt during his celebrations.

And Lineker, speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, believes that although it was a careless thing for the former Everton man to do, the time has come to change the rules.

He said: “Richarlison thought he'd won the game for Tottenham, didn't he, ripping off his shirt, and then obviously they get extra time for that, and then they're scoring that extra time.

“I think it's a stupid law to get a yellow card, and obviously, if it happens in injury time, you get extended injury time. But also, even though it's a silly law, you know what it is, and I just don't understand why.

"I know you can get overexcited, but you can get overexcited by doing something else other than rip your bloody shirt off.

“It's a bit daft, but I get it. It's a big goal for him, and he thought at the time he'd won the game. But I mean, honestly, footballers, Micah.

Micah Richards then said: “You know what? I can't even grumble at the fact that he's taking off his shirt, because he's playing it in real life. I feel that way on Fantasy Football, so I understand you.”

Reflecting on United’s stoppage-time equaliser, Spurs boss Thomas Frank said: "A lot of things we could have done a bit better, the last one is all about the urgency, maybe don't give the cross away and defend better.

"Second half we got more bite in the man to man pressure, which was not working as it should have been in the first half."

Frank added: "Of course it's not that I'm going away from here and not being disappointed at leading with one minute to go and you don't win, that will always be the case.

"What I'm focussing on is especially that the second half was a good performance. I was very happy with the way we turned it around.

"We stayed in the game, did the right thing, keep pushing - in a game when two teams neutralise each other you don't create too much, that's natural, but how the boys kept fighting was hugely impressive."

Here's the Tottenham Hotspur loan latest with plenty of highs and lows this week for the club's players out across the world

There were some happy faces among the Tottenham players out on loan across various leagues over the past week and some frustrated ones.

In total, Spurs have sent 13 players out on loan to clubs spread across England, Scotland, Germany, Spain and South America with some getting the game time they needed, some rediscovering their happiness, others picking up injuries and other struggling to get what they need from their time away.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank will be receiving plenty reports on all of their progress from the club's Head of Loans and Pathways Andy Scoulding as Spurs look to decide which players will be part of the future and which of them will move on to new challenges.

Here's how every single one of Tottenham's large group of loan players got on across the world this week. We're leaving out George Abbott because the young midfielder is currently out for Wycombe Wanderers for potentially up to four months with a quad injury.

Luka Vuskovic (Hamburg)

Luka Vuskovic has become an ever-present for Hamburg and is hugely popular with the club's fans, his shirts selling in large numbers for the Bundesliga outfit.

The late drama wasn't just reserved for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the 18-year-old centre-back enjoyed a day to remember on Saturday as Hamburg grabbed a 97th minute leveller at home against Borussia Dortmund.

Vuskovic played the full match in the back three and joined in the wild celebrations as substitute Ransford Konigsdorffer headed home Miro Muheim's cross at the death.

Spurs' young Croatian recorded the hosts' most defensive contributions on the day as he managed 10 clearances, including nine headed ones, along with three interceptions, two blocks and two ball recoveries.

Vuskovic is settling in very well at Hamburg and media outlet Bild reported last month that he is still studying for his school qualifications through online learning and learning German and Italian to complement his English and Croatian language skills.

The teenager has played eight times for the Bundesliga side since joining, scoring once and only picking up one yellow card despite the amount of defending he has to do for the battling side from Hamburg.

Mikey Moore (Rangers)

Mikey Moore netted his first goal for Rangers with a confident finish in the 3-0 win at Dundee as the Danny Rohl era at the club stretched to three consecutive Scottish Premiership wins.

The 18-year-old swept home his finish after a good passing move from the visitors and he was denied a second goal before the break after it was adjudged on review that the offside Mohamed Diomande had interfered with Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken's view of Danilo's initial attempt.

Moore was a constant pest to Dundee during his 66 minutes on the pitch, drifting off the right wing into more central positions to cause problems aplenty.

The teenager spoke about his tough loan after the game and coming out the other side with recent displays.

"It was a difficult start for me and I don’t think I showed anywhere near what I know I can do," he said. "Mentally it’s been unbelievable for me because it’s a massive club and I think it’s strengthened me up a lot because it’s probably the toughest time I’ve been through.

"So now I’m happy to be coming out of it, but now I need to keep on going and performing.

On speculation that he was aiming for a return to north London, the teenager said: "I was never ready to go back. I always knew that at some point it would change and I’ve changed it for myself a little bit in the last few weeks, but I need to keep building and playing even better than I am.

"I’m picking up goals and assists, as I said in midweek that I need to, so I’m happy with the goal on Sunday. I’m feeling a lot more confident, I’m getting used to the league, used to my teammates and the manager’s helped me a lot as well, he’s come in and he’s gave me confidence and belief in myself which has been good from him, so I’m excited to keep going.

"There’s a lot of pressure on a young boy coming from the Premier League, but as long as I’m improving and I’m helping Rangers go win games and picking up goals and helping the team, that’s all that matters for now."

Moore has been given a freer role under former Sheffield Wednesday boss Rohl and is enjoying the chance to create.

"I think it helps me being in that role. I always want to be involved in the game as much as possible and I like to get in the pockets," said the youngster. "I can play wide but I think I’ve had a bit of a mix of both, so I’m enjoying the role I’ve been given."

Will Lankshear (Oxford United)

Will Lankshear netted his fifth goal of the season for Championship side Oxford United as they lost 2-1 at Ryan Mason's West Bromwich Albion.

It was a much-needed victory for Mason, who has been under increasing pressure following a poor run of form with the Baggies.

Lankshear was on hand to convert Przemyslaw Placheta’s cross from close range and give the visitors a 54th-minute lead at The Hawthorns, but the hosts turned it all around to claim all three points.

Oxford sit 21st in the table with just three wins from their 15 Championship matches but Lankshear has been a success so far with five goals from 14 of those games.

Manor Solomon (Villarreal)

Manor Solomon's loan at Villarreal has not been a success so far unfortunately as the 26-year-old has made just one La Liga start for the club.

The winger has been left unused on the bench for three of the past four matches in the league and missed out entirely on their matchday squad for Saturday's 2-0 win at Espanyol due to a back problem. In the Champions League, he has been unused in three of the Spanish club's four games, albeit one of those against Juventus he missed as it fell on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.

Solomon's back problem has kept him out of international duty with Israel this month but he is expected to return after the break for Villarreal's upcoming matches.

There has been some speculation that the Spurs winger could return from Spain to head out on loan elsewhere in January if his situation does not improve, with another spell at Leeds United mooted.

Yang Min-hyeok (Portsmouth)

Yang Min-hyeok got just seven minutes from the bench at the end of Portsmouth's 3-2 defeat at Hull City on Saturday.

The 19-year-old had been on a run of seven straight starts in the Championship but as the results took a turn for the worse so Yang found himself unused on the bench in the midweek goalless draw at home to Wrexham and then he just came on for the final moments of the defeat at Hull.

It has been a positive loan spell on the whole though for the South Korean starlet with two goals and one assist in his 10 appearances so far with 593 minutes of football to his name.

Alejo Veliz (Rosario Central)

It was only the second time in seven league matches in Argentina that Alejo Veliz did not record a goal or assist for Rosario.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed his return to Argentina and has picked up five goals and one assist in his 15 matches back at his old club. Saturday brought a goalless affair though at home against San Lorenzo.

After a couple of unsuccessful loan spells in Spain, Veliz has had exactly the move he needed with a whopping 1,271 minutes to his name so far.

Alfie Devine (Preston North End)

Alfie Devine continues to get plenty of Championship experience with Preston as they also drew at the weekend, 1-1 at Millwall.

The midfielder came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the game but has started the majority of matches for North End since joining in the summer.

The 21-year-old's cameo from the bench earned him a 6.5 in the Lancashire Post's player ratings with the words: "Threw himself straight into the contest and showed plenty of bite. Made a positive impact overall."

Devine has notched two goals and two assists from his 14 matches for Preston so far this season.

Ashley Phillips & Jamie Donley (Stoke City)

Tottenham must be considering recalling Jamie Donley from his loan at Stoke for the 20-year-old has barely featured for the Potters. He has not started a single game in the Championship and has only come off the bench twice in the past 13 matches in the league.

Donley has not been included in the past three matchday squads under Stoke boss Mark Robins and Tottenham will be wary of his development being stunted by the lack of opportunities to play, with 77 Championship minutes to his name across four matches.

His Spurs team-mate Ashley Phillips is back in contention at least and has started the past eight matches in the league for the Potters, playing every single minute of them.

Donley will be hoping his fortune changes at Stoke in the coming weeks as the games come thick and fast, otherwise he could well be playing elsewhere in 2026.

Alfie Dorrington (Aberdeen)

Alfie Dorrington has also been struggling for game time at Aberdeen in recent weeks.

The 20-year-old centre-back has not been named in the past two matchday squads in the Scottish Premiership and has not started a match since September.

The defender has 12 appearances to his name and 716 minutes of football.

Damola Ajayi (Doncaster Rovers)

Damola Ajayi was also out of a matchday squad as Doncaster lost 2-1 at home to Barnsley in League One on Saturday.

Ajayi has been getting experience though on his first loan with 15 appearances and one goal with 585 minutes under the 19-year-old winger's belt.

Tyrese Hall (Notts County)

Tyrese Hall has been getting plenty of game time for Notts County and will be hoping to start yet again as they travel to Cheltenham in League Two on Monday night.

The 20-year-old midfielder has got five goals and one assist across 814 minutes in 15 appearances on his first senior loan.

Tottenham star to train with national team despite being omitted from squad

Tottenham centre-back Radu Dragusin is poised to train with Romania during the international break despite being omitted from their squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina and San Marino.

The 23-year-old defender has not played a competitive match since January when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Spurs' 3-0 Europa League victory over Elfsborg.

But Dragusin is now on the comeback trail after returning to first-team training and there is hope he could make his first appearance under Thomas Frank before the end of the month.

Tottenham medical staff have been reluctant to rush the player's return as they want to get his rehabilitation right to avoid facing any unwanted setbacks.

Romania boss Mircea Lucescu recently included Dragusin in his preliminary squad for this month's international matches but unsurprisingly, he did not make the final cut.

However, Football.London understands the former Genoa star is expected to participate in some training with Romania during the international break, even though he will not feature in either of their World Cup qualifiers.

Last month, he was pictured in the gym with his international team-mates as Romania boss Lucescu has been keen to have his experience around the group.

It's understood Tottenham informed Romania national team chiefs that they did not want Dragusin to be included within their squad for this month's matches as they're continuing to build his fitness.

Romania currently sit third in Group H but could go second if they're able to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.

Technically, snatching top-spot is still mathematically possible if results go their way but there is a firm chance they could secure a play-off place (via second) given they also face minnows San Marino in their final World Cup qualifier.

Last month, Frank revealed that if all goes to plan, the central defender could earn some minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly during the break before the return of club football.

Frank said: "That could be likely. I think we plan to play him in a friendly there, as I understand it, so that's a big part of it."

The Dane also noted that Dragusin's recovery was going to plan, explaining: "It's going well

"He's fully integrated into training now. Because an ACL is such a, it's not tricky but it's such a big injury, because you're out for nine months so you need to build strength in the knee and so on.

""Then because we don't train that much, the big area stuff is not that much so we need to give him some of the bigger area stuff. But he is definitely getting closer to being involved."

Dragusin joined Tottenham from Italian outfit Genoa in January 2024 in a transfer deal worth in the region of £26.7m.

The Tottenham star has not made his way with his international colleagues after recent issues that have kept him out of the north London club's games

Mohammed Kudus has not joined up with Ghana following the injury that has resulted in him missing the past two Tottenham matches.

The 25-year-old has starred for Spurs since arriving in a £55million deal from West Ham in the summer with five assists and one goal in his first 10 Premier League matches for the north London outfit. However, Kudus has missed the past two matches, the 4-0 Champions League victory against Copenhagen and then Saturday's dramatic 2-2 draw with Manchester United, with what was described as a knock by Tottenham boss Thomas Frank ahead of that first game.

Now football.london understands the winger has not joined up with Ghana for their friendlies in Asia against Japan and Son Heung-min's South Korea on Friday and Tuesday respectively.

Frank had said Kudus was "touch and go" for the game against United but was not in the squad on the day. The Ghanaian could be seen standing in the tunnel in the early moments of the game before joining his team-mates on the sidelines to watch the match that brought two added time goals as the teams shared the spoils.

Ahead of the previous European clash against Copenhagen, the Dane had said about the attacker and full-back Djed Spence: "Djed and Mo got a knock. They could and should be available for tomorrow."

Unfortunately Kudus was not available and Frank said on Saturday before kick-off that he was "very confident that he should be available for the next one".

He will be hoping that his summer signing is fit for that next one because there are two big games for Tottenham immediately after the international break as they travel to Arsenal for the first North London Derby of the season on Sunday November 23, and then face a big Champions League match against the reigning champions PSG on Wednesday November 26.

Spurs will be looking to get revenge against Luis Enrique's side after throwing away a 2-0 lead against the French giants in the UEFA Super Cup in August only to lose on penalties.

Manchester United and Tottenham played out a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, with both sides coming in for criticism from Alan Shearer

Alan Shearer has criticised both Manchester United and Tottenham for a "poor" match that was "lacking quality". The two teams clashed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon, resulting in a thrilling draw.

United's Bryan Mbeumo put his team ahead in the first half, with Mathys Tel and Richarlison seemingly securing a win for Spurs towards the end. However, Matthijs de Ligt's superb stoppage time header ensured the points were shared.

Despite the excitement, Shearer was unimpressed by both teams' performances, reports the Mirror. Speaking on Match of the Day, the ex-Newcastle player stated: "A draw was probably a fair result in the end. But the standard of football was pretty poor for both teams.

"The substitutes made a difference for Spurs but not for Manchester United. The visitors going down to 10 men after Benjamin Sesko's injury definitely didn't help.

"But the quality was lacking, especially for two sides that could have gone second in the league if they had won today."

Following the final whistle, Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim gave his thoughts on the match, suggesting his team should have clinched the win. He said: "During the game we felt like the three points were there to take home.

"But then with everything that happened, Harry Maguire and Casemiro coming off and conceding two goals... we scored again and it's a point.

"When you cannot win you don't lose, once again we did that. We have so much to grow as a team, because today was our day to win this game.

"We need to look at ourselves, we were not pressing with the same intensity, we felt comfortable but we need to understand that if we had more bravery we kill the game. But sometimes this happens, you have a better first half than second. We believe in our capacity to score goals until the last minute."

Saturday's stalemate sees Tottenham go into the November international break in fifth place. United, meanwhile, find themselves in eighth position after bouncing back from their disappointing campaign start.

Amorim's men return to action in a fortnight when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford. Spurs face a mouth-watering North London Derby away to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next time out.

Wilson Odobert put in an impressive performance for Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United

James Maddison has sent a message to Tottenham Hotspur teammate Wilson Odobert after the forward's impactful performance against Manchester United.

Odobert was named on the bench by Thomas Frank for the clash against the Red Devils in north London, before replacing Randal Kolo Muani at the half-time interval.

Spurs went on to cancel out Bryan Mbeumo's opening goal with a strike from Mathys Tel, before Odobert provided the assist for Richarlison's late goal for Tottenham.

The goal from Richarlison appeared to have won the game for Spurs, only for Matthijs de Ligt to equalise for United and see the points shared in the capital.

After the game, Odobert took to Instagram to send a message to Tottenham fans.

The 20-year-old included a photo of himself featuring for Spurs, accompanied by a brain emoji and an egg timer emoji.

Maddison, who is currently sidelined with a serious knee injury, sent a message of his own to Odobert.

The England international wrote: "Impact bro," accompanied by three clapping hands emojis.

Frank was also full of praise for Odobert after the forward's cameo performance in Tottenham's draw with United.

"I think, again, he's positive," Frank told reporters on Saturday evening. "I think he's stepping forward, or stepping up, and doing things that look right."

Odobert's next opportunity to star for Tottenham will be when they face Arsenal on November 23 in the North London Derby, which will be their first fixture after the November international break.

Maddison is expected to be sidelined for the majority of the season after suffering an ACL injury during pre-season back in August.

Randal Kolo Muani was substituted at half-time in Tottenham Hotspur's draw with Manchester United in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur face potentially a nervous wait to discover if Randal Kolo Muani has suffered an injury. Spurs were forced to settle for a point in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Mathys Tel and Richarlison scored for Thomas Frank's side, with the latter's strike coming in stoppage time to give Tottenham the lead in the closing moments.

This was before Matthijs de Ligt equalised for United in the final minutes, with Bryan Mbeumo also on the score sheet for the Red Devils in North London.

Frank admitted after the game that Kolo Muani "struggled" during the draw with United, with the France international being withdrawn at half-time to be replaced by Wilson Odobert.

"He [Kolo Muani] actually struggled a little bit, but nothing big," Frank told reporters during his post-match press conference.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins has now provided an update on Kolo Muani's injury, which will give Tottenham a nervous wait.

The reporter has claimed that the Spurs striker will undergo further tests on Sunday to discover the full extent of a jaw injury, but the article does state that the issue is not expected to be anything serious.

Tottenham will return to action after the international break on November 23, where they will face Arsenal in the North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium.

After that, Spurs will return to Champions League duties where they will travel to face Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital.

Tottenham signed Kolo Muani on loan from PSG during the summer transfer window, and UEFA rules will allow the striker to feature against the Ligue 1 giants in the Champions League if the striker is fit enough to do so.

Kolo Muani was also called up to the France squad for the upcoming round of World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan.

It now remains to be seen if the potential injury picked up in the draw with United will prevent the Spurs striker from linking up with his compatriots during the international break.
