It was an unsettling moment for Tottenham on Tuesday after news emerged that Wilson Odobert and Randal Kolo Muani had been involved in a car accident while travelling in England.
The incident happened on the M25 in Hertfordshire and immediately raised concerns among fans, given the timing and the importance of upcoming fixtures.
Tyre Blowout Brings Journey to an Abrupt Stop
The pair were travelling together in a black Ferrari when things suddenly went wrong.
A tyre blew out at speed, forcing the car to stop on the motorway.
Photos from the scene showed both French attackers standing safely by the roadside alongside emergency services, with the front-right tyre badly damaged and visibly burnt out.
Despite how dramatic the images looked, the situation itself appears to have been contained quickly.
Thomas Frank Provides Reassurance
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank was quick to calm any fears, confirming that both players escaped with only minor injuries.
Speaking after the incident, he stressed that no one was seriously hurt.
“Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine,” Frank said.
“They were unfortunately involved in a minor car accident. Everyone else involved is fine.
It was a tyre blowing up. They will be travelling here a little later tonight.”
His message was clear: scary moment, but nothing more.
No Setback Ahead of Champions League Clash
Crucially for Spurs, the accident is not expected to disrupt their plans on the pitch.
Both Odobert and Kolo Muani are anticipated to be available for selection when Tottenham face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Given the stakes of the tie, that will come as a huge relief inside the club.
A Close Call With Focus Quickly Returning to Football
While the incident served as a reminder of how quickly things can change off the pitch, Tottenham can breathe easy knowing the outcome was far better than it could have been.
With injuries ruled out and preparations continuing, attention now turns firmly back to European football — and ensuring this motorway scare becomes nothing more than a footnote in a busy week.
