Incident on the road involving a Ferrari and Tottenham players

Tottenham Hotspur’s Wilson Odubert and Randall Kolo Muani were involved in a crash that damaged a Ferrari. Photos show the players by the roadside beside the right side of the car, with the airbag deployed. Both players are reported to be unharmed and are receiving assistance from technicians to inspect the car.

Ahead of the game: injury updates and expectations

Tottenham are preparing for the final group-stage match in the Champions League this season, against Eintracht Frankfurt, on Wednesday. In Tuesday’s pre-match press conference, Franck provided an update: "Kolo Muani and Wilson Odubert are fine. They were involved in a minor incident caused by a tire blowout." The car involved belongs to Muani, according to the update. Franck also confirmed that Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven will miss the match due to injuries; Porro has a hamstring issue and is out for four weeks, while van de Ven’s injury is described as minor.

Tottenham currently sit fifth in the group and are aiming to secure a place in the last-16 directly by finishing in the top eight. The coach stressed the need to keep doing the right things and to welcome back Solanke, who has been out for six months, as a key returnee for the team.

Punchline time: If football had a spoiler alert, it would say, “That Ferrari is fast, but so is Tottenham’s rumor mill.” Punchline two: When life gives you a tire blowout, hope your team trains with a tow-truck of optimism and a dash of humour.
