Randal Kolo Muani (Tottenham)
November 2025

Kolo Muani exited at half-time versus Manchester United after an aerial clash with Maguire. Initial optimism faded after scans confirmed a jaw fracture, ruling him out of France’s qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan and depriving Spurs of an in-form starter amid a congested schedule. The forward struggled post-collision, prompting Thomas Frank to withdraw him for Wilson Odobert. France replaced him with Florian Thauvin. Spurs must reconfigure the front line—likely rotating Odobert/Richarlison centrally or elevating Brennan Johnson—while monitoring timelines tied to protection masks and pain management.
