Neither player appears to have been injured, and auto mechanics were on the scene attending to the vehicle.
Spurs are preparing for the final round of this season’s Champions League fixtures, with Thomas Frank’s side set to face Eintracht Frankfurt at 8 pm GMT on Wednesday.
Frank addressed the situation involving Odobert and Kolo Muani during Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.
He said via Mirror Football:
“Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine. They were unfortunately involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved is fine. It was a tyre bursting. They will be travelling a little later tonight.”
It has been confirmed that the car involved belongs to Muani, with Odobert travelling behind him.
Per GOAL, club medical staff were told to carry out detailed assessments on both players as a precaution. Initial reports indicated no concerning injuries, meaning they remained in contention for the Champions League match.
Kolo Muani had only just returned from a fractured jaw suffered in a previous collision a few months earlier, an issue that had forced him to wear a protective face mask.
The swift clearance of their condition came as a major boost for the medical and coaching team ahead of the PSG clash.
Tottenham duo to miss UCL tie
Although Frank delivered encouraging news regarding Odobert and Kolo Muani, the former Brentford manager confirmed that Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven will miss Wednesday’s match due to injury.
The 52-year-old said:
“Pedro has a hamstring injury and will be out for four weeks. Micky has something minor. Definitely not a help to any of us. Of course, we prefer to have the best players out on the pitch. Any coach wants that, and any teammate wants that. That’s why we have a squad, though.”

Tottenham are currently fifth in the League Phase and aiming to secure a place in the competition’s top eight.
Holding their position would guarantee automatic qualification for the last 16 and allow them to avoid a play-off tie.
