Thomas Frank has provided an update on Mohammed Kudus ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League clash with Manchester United on Saturday.

Kudus missed Tuesday’s emphatic Champions League win over Copenhagen after he picked up a knock in training. The 25-year-old watched his teammates from the stands put the Danish side to the sword as they ran out 4-0 winners.

The former West Ham man admitted after the game that his injury was “getting better” and now Frank has confirmed the Ghana international faces a race against time to be fit for the clash against Ruben Amorim’s side. Speaking at his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way on Friday afternoon, Frank said: “Yes everyone came through well, so it’s good. We’ll say the ones that have been out for a small spell, Cuti and Dest, responded well so fit and available. Kudus is touch and go for tomorrow, we’ll see.”

Dominic Solanke continues his recovery from an ankle injury and Frank believes the striker could return after the November international break. The Dane said: “Yeah, I think the international break will be the big deciding factor because we have two weeks there to push in the next steps.

“As I say, it’s going forward. Just to take it instead of the questions every single time because it was clearly that he was not ready before the international break.

“It’s more, we look after the international break, that’s what we’re aiming for. I think we always want to get it right, but I think it’s important to get it right so he’s out there, can help the team and we need him back.”

Elsewhere, Lucas Bergvall will miss the clash against Manchester United due to concussion protocol, while Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, Archie Gray and Kota Takai could make their returns at the end of November. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are the club’s long-term absentees.
