Tottenham Duo Apologise to Thomas Frank for Post-Chelsea Snub as Manager Closes Matter

Frank calls the episode frustration-driven, redirecting focus to fitness doubts before Copenhagen.

Overview

  • Thomas Frank said Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence visited him unprompted to apologise for walking past him after the Chelsea defeat, and he considers the matter closed.
  • Broadcast footage showed the pair head straight to the tunnel after the 1-0 loss as Spurs were booed, with the team posting a record-low 0.05 expected goals.
  • Frank framed their behaviour as frustration rather than disrespect and stressed the club will handle any discipline internally while protecting the players.
  • Lucas Bergvall was diagnosed with a concussion from the Chelsea match and will miss the next two games under protocol.
  • Djed Spence and Mohammed Kudus sustained knocks and skipped Monday training, though Frank said they could and should be available to face FC Copenhagen on Tuesday.
