Kolo Muani Withdraws From France Squad After Fractured Jaw in Tottenham–Man United Draw

The blow deepens Tottenham’s shortage up front heading into the post‑break fixtures.

Overview

  • An off-the-ball first-half collision involving Harry Maguire left Randal Kolo Muani with a jaw injury, and he was substituted at half-time in the 2-2 draw.
  • The French Football Federation confirmed a lower-jaw injury and his withdrawal from the November camp, naming Florian Thauvin as replacement.
  • Media reports following Sunday’s scans indicated a fracture, with early estimates suggesting several weeks out as Spurs await a club timetable.
  • Thomas Frank had initially described the issue as “nothing big,” but subsequent assessments upgraded the severity.
  • Tottenham face limited senior striker options for upcoming games, while France enter qualifiers where a win over Ukraine could secure World Cup 2026 qualification.
