Spurs' Attack Stretched as Kudus Set to Miss Bournemouth and Solanke Not Ready

Thomas Frank says club leaders are aligned on recruiting this month.

Overview

  • Mohammed Kudus suffered a left-leg injury against Sunderland, underwent a scan on Monday and is most likely ruled out of the trip to Bournemouth.
  • Dominic Solanke has returned to training but will not be involved at Bournemouth, with Frank cautioning he needs time to regain sharpness after a long layoff.
  • Tottenham sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for around £35m, a decision Frank defended as pre-dating Kudus’ injury while acknowledging the squad is short on attacking options.
  • A 1-1 home draw with Sunderland left Spurs in the bottom half, extended poor home form and continued a run without an open‑play league goal since Dec. 6, prompting audible fan frustration.
  • Destiny Udogie is progressing in training and Xavi Simons is available after suspension, but natural wide options remain limited as the club targets January reinforcements.
