Spurs boss Thomas Frank confirmed that none of his injured players will be fit in time for the visit of Fulham in the Premier League this weekend.Â
Seven Tottenham players are currently on the treatment table, while Cristian Romero is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Arsenal last weekend, incurring a one-match ban.
James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma and Kota Takai are all ruled out through injury, while Radu Dragusin is inching towards a return to action.

“Nothing changed from the Arsenal and PSG games apart from the suspension to Cuti,” Frank said in his pre-match press conference. “Radu will not be able to start yet. Progressing, training, that’s the latest.”
The former Brentford manager could not put a timeline on returns for long-term absentees Kulusevski and Solanke.
“I’d love to have them ready to play for us, but they’re unavailable, other players need to step up. It’s much easier to say they’re in, when available, rather than put a time-frame on it.”
Frank also hinted that Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall could start at the weekend after impressing against PSG.
“I think if you perform like you did against the European champions away from home, you’re ready to start in the Premier League.”
Meanwhile, Fulham have no new injury concerns heading into the London derby. Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson remain unavailable.
