Tottenham Names Champions League Squad Including Kolo Muani, Simons; Tel, Bissouma Excluded

News summary

Tottenham Hotspur's 2025 summer transfer window significantly reshaped head coach Thomas Frank's squad, highlighted by the late acquisitions of Randal Kolo Muani and Xavi Simons, who have both been included in the Champions League squad and are expected to feature soon in Premier League matches. Despite the boost from these signings, Frank faced tough decisions due to UEFA's squad registration rules, which require a minimum number of club-trained players, limiting Spurs to a 22-player roster and leading to the exclusion of notable players like Mathys Tel and Yves Bissouma from the Champions League squad. Injuries have further complicated squad selections, with key players such as James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Radu Dragusin sidelined, affecting Frank's ability to field his strongest team. Tottenham’s new lineup, including Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, and Richarlison alongside Kolo Muani and Simons, reflects a balance of experience and versatility, addressing the need to cover multiple positions especially on the left wing after Son Heung-min's departure. Frank has expressed caution about injury management to avoid last season’s issues and is considering various players for the left-wing role, including Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, and Mathys Tel, among others. Fans will need patience to see the full impact of the new signings, with Kolo Muani set for his debut against West Ham and Simons expected to feature soon, as Tottenham aim to build momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
