Overview
- Mohammed Kudus underwent a scan on Monday for a left-leg issue and is expected to be unavailable for Wednesday’s trip to Bournemouth.
- Dominic Solanke has rejoined training after ankle surgery but will not be involved against his former club and needs time to regain match sharpness.
- Destiny Udogie has returned to training and is progressing, Xavi Simons is available after suspension, and Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma remain away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Thomas Frank defended the £35m sale of Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace, saying the call was made before Kudus’ injury and aligned with the club’s push to sell more effectively.
- With no natural right winger in the squad, Spurs are assessing January reinforcements, and reports differ on whether the club appealed Cristian Romero’s FA charge, though he is available for Bournemouth.
