Overview

• Thomas Frank confirmed Dominic Solanke has recovered from an ankle injury and travelled with the squad to Udine for the UEFA Super Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain.
• Frank excluded Yves Bissouma from the travelling party for repeated lateness as a one-off disciplinary measure and said he will address the matter further after the fixture.
• The omission has amplified uncertainty over Bissouma’s future as he enters the final year of his contract without a renewal in sight.
• Destiny Udogie is nearing a return to full-group training while long-term absences for James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski leave Tottenham under-strength for Wednesday’s match.
• The Super Cup in Udine represents Frank’s first competitive test in charge and an early demonstration of his strict squad standards.
