Kolo Muani Out of France Qualifiers With Jaw Fracture as Spurs Report No Surgery Needed

France replaced him with Florian Thauvin for this month's qualifiers.

Overview

  • The forward suffered the injury in a first‑half clash with Harry Maguire during Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United and was substituted at half-time.
  • The French Football Federation confirmed his withdrawal from the squad for games against Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
  • Club assessments reported by the BBC indicate he does not require an operation, with cautious optimism over a return sooner than initial six-to-eight-week estimates.
  • Tottenham are evaluating options including a potential Champions League squad change, which UEFA allows only if an absence is documented to last at least 60 days.
  • His absence further tests Spurs’ thin attack, with the on‑loan PSG striker yet to score in eight appearances this season.
