Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways on Saturday, defeating Brentford 2-0 courtesy of goals from Xavi Simons and Richarlison.
It was the first time that Thomas Frank’s men have won a game of football since November 4th when they defeated Copenhagen 4-0 in the Champions League.
Since then, the Lilywhites have been on a dire run of form, notably losing the north London derby 4-1. It’s a sequence of results that has thrown doubts over Frank’s future in the dugout.
What won’t help Spurs is that they’ve now received a series of injury blows following the win over Frank’s former side.
Tottenham dealt injury blows against Brentford
Spurs may well have sealed all three points on Saturday afternoon but the game didn’t come without some bad news for the club.
Indeed, they now have injury concerns over Destiny Udogie and Randal Kolo Muani before they face Slavia Prague in Europe on Wednesday night.
.
Udogie missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over Brentford after he sustained a soft tissue injury in the 2-2 draw against Newcastle while PSG loanee Kolo Muani stood out against Brentford but was subbed early and was later seen limping as he left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Frank was quizzed about those issues after the game, with the Dane asked how long Udogie will be out for.
The manager responded: “Not too long. He got a soft tissue injury, unfortunately, against Newcastle.”
Spurs are already without long-term absentees Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison while Mathys Tel will be missing after not being registered in the club’s Champions League squad.
The north Londoners will now hope they can string a positive sequence of results together with the win against the Bees somewhat easing the pressure on the manager.
Speaking after sealing their first home win in the Premier League since August 16th, the boss stated: “Yeah, that is the standard.
“Sometimes there’s more tight games, as we know, but I like what I saw from the team and that’s what we need to build on and try to become even better.”
