Tottenham are in the midst of a difficult week after sacking manager Thomas Frank following a disappointing home defeat to Newcastle in the Premier League on Tuesday night. The result has left the club perilously close to the drop zone and in the hunt for a new manager. Spurs have also seen their injury crisis deepen with yet another first-team star facing a long spell out of action.

Tottenham stars Wilson Odobert and Kolo Muani were involved in a car accident on the busy M25 motorway in Hertfordshire on Tuesday afternoon, head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed. The incident occurred shortly after midday, between the busy junctions 24 and 25, just a day before the pivotal Champions League clash. The car involved was Kolo Muani's, with Odobert following behind as they travelled to the airport for their flight to Germany.
