Tottenham Hotspur stars Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert had a heart-stopping experience on the M25 this week when the front tyre of Kolo Muani’s Ferrari suddenly blew out, leaving the luxury car wrecked on the side of the motorway.
The incident occurred as the forward, 27, was heading to Stansted Airport following a training session ahead of Spurs’ Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt. Thankfully, both players walked away without any injuries.
Teammates Check on Each Other
Wilson Odobert had been trailing Kolo Muani along the motorway when the accident happened.
Showing quick thinking, Odobert pulled over immediately to make sure his teammate was okay.
Images from the scene show the two players standing in a lay-by next to the damaged black Ferrari Purosangue, which, even without extras, is priced at around £313,000, and often exceeds £400,000 with custom options.
Thomas Frank Confirms Players Are Safe
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank reassured fans that both players are unharmed.
“Both are fine,” he confirmed.
“Unfortunately, they were both involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine.
It was a tyre blowing up, so the two of them are a little bit delayed, but they will land later.”
The Ferrari That Packs a Punch
The Ferrari Purosangue, the Italian brand’s first SUV, is no ordinary car.
It comes equipped with a 6.5-litre V12 engine producing 725 horsepower, can sprint from 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 192 mph.
Clearly, it’s a high-performance vehicle—but even the best machines can’t always prevent surprises on the road.
Squad Worries Ahead of Frankfurt
While Kolo Muani and Odobert missed the team’s departure, both are expected to join up with the squad in Germany in time for the game.
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is already dealing with a threadbare squad, with only 11 senior outfield players available for selection.
Pedro Porro has been sidelined for four weeks with a hamstring injury, and Micky van de Ven did not travel to Frankfurt due to a minor issue, although it’s not hamstring-related and he remains a strong possibility for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Stepping Up Despite Challenges
Frank acknowledged the challenge: “It definitely does not help any of us. Of course, we prefer to have the best players out there on the pitch.
Any coach and teammate wants that, but we also have a squad and need other players to step up as they’ve done and perform.”
Eyes on the Prize in Frankfurt
Tottenham are already guaranteed to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, but a victory in Frankfurt would secure a top-eight finish and a bye into the last 16.
With the squad stretched and injuries mounting, the team will have to rely on depth and resilience to achieve that goal.
