Thomas Frank says Destiny Udogie is struggling with a “minor” knee problem.
The Italian full-back was left out of Tottenham’s squad for their home game against Aston Villa.
But Frank says he does not think the injury is a bad one.

“He came back from international duty with a minor irritation in the knee,” he told Sky Sports before the game.
“So that’s just keeping him out for this game.”
Asked if he could be out for a longer period, Frank responded: “That’s not the plan.”
Tottenham were also dealt another injury blow in the build up to the game with defender Cristian Romero pulling out of the team in the warm up.
Romero had been due to start but was replaced by Kevin Danso shortly before kick-off.
