Tottenham have confirmed that two of their players, Wilson Odobert and Randal Kolo Muani, have been involved in a car crash just a day before their Champions League tie with Eintracht Frankfurt. Images appeared on social media of the duo standing on the side of the road, next to a Ferrari, with the front smashed.

Both players are unharmed after the accident, but could understandably be shaken up ahead of a European match against German opposition on Wednesday. Kolo Muani, 27, is on loan at Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain, having joined the club in the summer transfer window.

Winger Odobert has been in north London for 18 months after a £25million transfer from Burnley. The 21-year-old has made 21 Premier League appearances this season and registered two assists.

Both Odobert and Kolo Muani are yet to score in the league this season, but the striker has bagged twice in the Champions League since his arrival from PSG.

The Watford Observer claim that the two players were believed to have been involved in a three-vehicle crash on the M25, between junctions 23 and 25 clockwise at 1.29pm on Tuesday.

National Highways confirmed that one lane was closed due to a second incident, an oil spillage after the collision, shortly before 4pm.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank, whose press conference was delayed by 45 minutes on Tuesday, confirmed they were involved in the crash.

He said: “Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine. They were unfortunately involved in a minor car accident. Everyone else involved is fine. It was a tyre blowing up. They will be travelling a little later tonight.”

Frank also revealed that he will be without defenders Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven for the trip to Frankfurt, with the Spanish full-back set to miss several weeks.

“Pedro has a hamstring injury and will be out for four weeks,” Frank added. “Micky has something minor and hasn’t travelled but could be available for City. Pape [Matar Sarr] is available again and so is Joao Palhinha.”

Frank is also bolstered by the return of striker Dominic Solanke in recent matches, having missed the entire season through injury up to this point.

The Dane continued: “We need to keep doing the right things and improve the things we want to do. Also getting players back. Dom is huge for us and he’s been out for six months. To have your main striker and top scorer out, I’d like to see other teams deal with that. He’s a physical beast and he’s been pushing himself.”
