Spurs news: Thomas Frank issues Mohamed Kudus injury update ahead of Man Utd visit

Doubt: Mohammed Kudus - (Action Images via Reuters)

Mohammed Kudus remains an injury doubt as Tottenham prepare to face Manchester United on Saturday.

Kudus was absent from training on Monday with a knock and subsequently played no part in Spurs’ 4-0 Champions League win over Copenhagen.

Asked after the game for an update, Kudus said: “It's getting better.”

Frank did not go as far as ruling Kudus out of the visit of United on Saturday lunchtime, but the forward remains a doubt.

The Spurs boss told reporters: "Kudus is touch and go for tomorrow. Yeah, we'll see."

Dominic Solanke remains sidelined and Frank hopes to be able to call upon his striker later in November, following the upcoming international break.

The striker has been restricted to three substitute appearances this season, all of which came in August, before undergoing surgery on his ankle.

The Spurs boss added: "The international break is the big decider there, two weeks to push him with the big steps.

“He's going forward. After the international break is what we're aiming for. It's important to get it right so he's out there and can help the team. We need him back."

There was more positive news for Destiny Udogie and Cristian Romero, who “responded well” to starting against Copenhagen and are fit for the weekend.
