Thomas Frank’s Future at Tottenham in Question Amidst Defeat and Injury Concerns

Thomas Frank is scheduled to address the media on Monday afternoon, amid growing uncertainty regarding his future at Tottenham Hotspur.

A 2-1 defeat at home to West Ham has intensified speculation about Frank’s position, with fans expressing their dissatisfaction by chanting, “You’re getting sacked in the morning,” following the team’s eighth loss in 14 matches.

In a post-match press conference on Saturday, Frank asserted that he still has the trust of everyone at the club. However, sources indicate that discussions are ongoing among key figures at Tottenham, currently placed 14th in the league, about whether Frank should lead the team into Tuesday’s Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund.

Despite the swirling rumors, Frank conducted training on Sunday at the club’s Hotspur Way facility, with no final decision regarding his future having been made yet. Conversations are reportedly taking place between chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and other executive board members regarding the situation.

According to sources, Frank is expected to participate in an open training session at approximately 2:15 p.m. on Monday, followed by a press conference alongside Xavi Simons at 3:30 p.m., even as speculation about his role continues to mount.

In addition to the coaching turmoil, Tottenham has announced that defender Ben Davies will require surgery due to a fracture in his left ankle, sustained early in the match against West Ham. The club confirmed on social media, “We can confirm that Ben Davies will undergo surgery today for a fracture of his left ankle. Following the surgery, Ben will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff. We’re all behind you, Ben.”

Davies’ injury represents a significant setback for the Welsh national team, particularly with a crucial World Cup play-off semi-final against Bosnia and Herzegovina approaching in March. The 32-year-old has been a key player for Wales, serving as captain during Aaron Ramsey’s long-term absence and recently achieving his 100th cap against Belgium in October.
