Kolo Muani Logs 45 Minutes in Spurs’ Closed-Door Friendly as Comeback Nears

The PSG loanee is rebuilding match fitness after a severe dead leg to put a squad return within reach for the post-break schedule.

Overview

Tottenham confirmed on October 10 that Randal Kolo Muani played 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford as part of his recovery.
Before this outing he had only featured for 14 competitive minutes since arriving on loan, coming on late in a Champions League match against Villarreal.
Thomas Frank described the injury as a heavy dead leg with bleeding now resolved, saying the focus is on getting the forward up to pace.
His controlled minutes during the international break position him to be considered for selection against Aston Villa on October 19 or in the Champions League away to Monaco, subject to fitness.
A return would add versatility across Spurs’ front line, with options to use him as a No. 9 or wide, potentially reshaping attacking roles such as Richarlison’s.
