The Tottenham games that Randal Kolo Muani is expected to miss as injury update emerges
Tottenham are having to contend with yet another first-team injury blow as on-loan striker Randal Kolo Muani faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
Tottenham drew 2-2 with Man United on Saturday (8 November) as Richarlison thought he had won it late on but Matthjis de Ligt netted in the final minute of added-time.
Supporters have groaned due to Thomas Frank‘s style of play, but the North London club have been going pretty well this season compared to last, with 18 points to see them into fifth place right now.
Frank has had to contend with a myriad of injury issues already in 2025-26, with James Maddison rupturing his ACL in pre-season, Dominic Solanke undergoing surgery on his ankle last month and the likes of Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin still continuing their recovery.
Randal Kolo Muani has now been added to the Lilywhites’ list of woes following the United clash, and he could be facing a while away from the team after a new update.
Kolo Muani suffers fractured jaw against Man United
Kolo Muani had to wait until 19 October to make his first Premier League appearance for Spurs due to a dead leg suffered not long after his loan move from PSG.
The Frenchman had featured in six games prior to Saturday’s clash with the Red Devils, with Kolo Muani impressing against Copenhagen last week as he neatly assisted Wilson Odobert.
Frank handed him a third consecutive start against United, but he was forced off at half-time after failing to take a shot on goal or even create a chance.
The Spurs boss insisted following the game that his injury was “nothing big,” but French journalist Fabrice Hawkins revealed on Sunday (9 November) that Kolo Muani has suffered a fractured jaw and will not join up with Les Bleus for the international break.
Kolo Muani to miss key fixtures with potentially eight weeks out of action
Chris Cowlin has since reported via X that the 26-year-old is set to miss between six to eight weeks of action, while he could be out for longer if he requires surgery.
Football Insider have looked at the games that he is now set to miss out on, with Tottenham struggling for striker options due to Solanke’s continued absence.
