Tottenham Forward Kolo Muani escapes injury in car accident
Tottenham Hotspur’s difficult season took another dramatic turn after forward Randal Kolo Muani was involved in a car accident just hours before Wednesday night’s Champions League match in Germany.
The French international reportedly damaged his Ferrari after a tyre blew out while he was driving to Stansted Airport for the team’s flight to Frankfurt.
The incident caused concern within the club, coming so close to an important European fixture.
Kolo Muani, however, escaped without injury. His team-mate, Wilson Odobert, who was travelling separately, stopped to check on him at the scene.
Both players later made alternative travel arrangements and are expected to be available for selection for the match.
Spurs boss Thomas Frank said: “That is my absolute understanding of everything. I haven’t spoken to them personally yet. They are fine. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine. It was a tyre blowing up… They will fly out later and I fully expect both to be available.”
Frank’s problems deepened with Pedro Porro ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury and Micky van de Ven also missing the trip. Spurs can still seal a last-16 spot with a win over managerless Frankfurt.
