Team news | Thomas on why Kota, Manor and Richy didn't feature at Reading | OneFootball

Thomas Frank said Manor Solomon and Kota Takai missed our pre-season opener at Reading with ‘minor’ issues, while Richarlison has ‘trained well’ and is expected to feature at Luton Town next weekend.

All three missed Thomas’ first game in charge, a 2-0 victory against the League One side at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday with Will Lankshear and Luke Vuskovic, on his first Spurs appearance, on target. Luka also claimed the assist for Will’s opener.

Speaking to us afterwards, Thomas reported: “Manor has a minor calf injury, unfortunately, nothing big. Kota has a minor issue, and we expect him to train next week. Richy has trained well, we’re just building him, that’s the big thing, He trained earlier today, and we expect a full training week next week and, right now, we expect him to play next week.”

We travel to Kenilworth Road next Saturday for a 3pm kick-off - again, live on SPURSPLAY.
