Frank: Tottenham ‘eager to win’
Christian Romero has just made a swipe at north London’s transfer decision-makers and the last thing he and Spurs need is for him to be sacked. The captain complained about the team’s depth but has now addressed another avoidable issue with Frank over the next four games.
It’s a desperate moment for Tottenham Hotspur, who have not improved since finishing bottom of the table last season. Even Frank couldn’t hide the desperation, admitting how badly his side needed a win against Newcastle United this week.
The Dane told reporters: “There is no doubt that we are desperate to win the game. Desperate. I’ll be watching Newcastle tomorrow. This is a great opportunity for us to face a good team.
“That’s the most important thing – can we go out and get three points tomorrow which will be really good and move on from there and look forward to that“.
What hasn’t helped Spurs this season is Kulusevski’s absence. The Swede was one of the few bright spots last season but has been injured since last May and could miss the rest of the season.
Of course, the former Juventus man isn’t the only injury concern Frank must contend with now. Tottenham have received more bad news ahead of their crucial game against Newcastle.
Frank confirmed the extent of Udoji’s injuries
as a rampant Manchester United push aside Lilywhites Destiny Udogie was the last man to limp last time out. Now, Frank has confirmed, Udogie will miss next four games At least, considering he’ll be out for a month.
This means that, like Romero, Udoji will miss the north London derby on Sunday, February 22, as well as games against Crystal Palace, Fulham and Newcastle.
For Frank, this is not just another injury, but another important absence. When Udoji is at his best, everyone at the club is clearly aware of his capabilities, and the praise from the Spurs boss earlier this season reflected that.
he tell reporters: “Excellent. (Udoji) was outstanding today. He was almost unstoppable, going forward. I think it was a little bit unfortunate too that Wilson had to keep track of him because it was a bit of a high-pressure situation, that fantastic goal for Brighton. But he totally got him going forward. Very good, just top class.”
