A scary moment for Tottenham's star player Randal Kolo Muani and his teammate Wilson Odobert, but thankfully, it seems like a minor scare. The duo was involved in a car accident on their way to the airport, with photos on social media showing the aftermath of a damaged Ferrari. But here's the twist: the Spurs winger was not driving the Ferrari; he was in his own car and stopped to help his colleague.
The incident occurred as they were heading to Germany for a crucial Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Manager Thomas Frank quickly assured fans that both players are 'fine'. The cause? A blown-up tire, according to Frank, which led to a slight delay in their travel plans.
Kolo Muani, on loan from Paris St-Germain, has been a key player for Tottenham this season, with two goals and two assists in European competitions. And this is where it gets interesting: despite the accident, Frank fully anticipates both players being ready for the Frankfurt game, a win that could secure a prestigious top-eight position in the league.
However, the team will have to navigate the match without full-back Pedro Porro, who is out with a hamstring injury for approximately four weeks. Additionally, centre-back Micky van de Van missed the trip due to a minor issue but is expected to return for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Manchester City.
