The Thomas Frank Era at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Football Club is now underway, and fans had a chance to see their new squad in action today in a 0-2 win away at League One side Reading. Frank opted to play two entirely different XIs in the first and second half of today\u2019s friendly win, but there were a few players who were as of yet nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

The biggest absence was likely Richarlison, who has been training but was not part of the matchday squad at Reading. It led to speculation that perhaps Richarlison is closer to a transfer departure back to Brazil than maybe we originally considered. However, Frank spoke to the media after the match<\/a> and said it was about conditioning, and that both Manor Solomon and Kota Takai are dealing with small injuries at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cManor, a minor calf injury unfortunately. Nothing big. Kota has a minor issue, like a contact [one], we expect him to train next week. Richy has trained well. We\u2019re just building him. I think that\u2019s the big thing, we\u2019re building him. He trained well yesterday. I\u2019m expecting a full training week and I\u2019m expecting him right now to play next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that doesn\u2019t mean that Richarlison WON\u2019T be sold to a club like Palmeiras, but that wasn\u2019t the reason Frank gave for why Richy didn\u2019t play today at Reading.<\/p>\n

Other absences included the players who recently competed in the U21 Euros competition, including Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel, and Archie Gray \u2014 all of them only recently returned after their mandaded post-Euros break and should feature more as we proceed through the rest of preseason. Of the players named to today\u2019s squad, Brandon Austin, Ash Phillips, George Abbott, and Yang Min-heok did not make it off the bench. James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, and Dejan Kulusevski are still recovering from injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Thomas Frank Era at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is now underway, and fans had a chance to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[13830,19675,14287,7056,424,417,20174,14289,11351,20175,403,99,17654,16729,20173,7021],"class_list":["post-22412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-captain","tag-cartilage","tag-frank","tag-free","tag-front-page","tag-in","tag-injuries","tag-minor","tag-none","tag-serious","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-spurs","tag-squad","tag-three","tag-tottenham-hotspur-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
