Kolo Muani Trains in Protective Mask as Spurs Weigh North London Derby Return

Doctors opted against surgery for the fractured jaw suffered versus Manchester United, shortening his expected absence.

Overview

  • He has trained in a specially fitted mask designed to protect his jaw ahead of Sunday’s match at the Emirates.
  • Tottenham will make a late call on his involvement, pending medical clearance and Thomas Frank’s selection.
  • The forward sustained the injury in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United after a collision with Harry Maguire and was withdrawn at half-time.
  • Early projections of a six-to-eight-week layoff have been revised after assessments indicated surgery was unnecessary.
  • The PSG loanee joined Spurs on September 1 and is yet to score in eight appearances, with Richarlison and Mathys Tel available if he cannot play.
