Kota Takai Injury: Suffers plantar fascia injury

Takai is suffering from a plantar fascia injury and will be out for weeks, coach Thomas Frank said in a press conference. "Kota got a plantar fascia injury, unfortunately we don't know the scale of it - weeks."

Takai arrived at Tottenham earlier this month from his native Japan but is starting his Spurs journey with an injury, as he is suffering from a plantar fascia issue. His timeline for return remains unclear, but he will likely miss weeks according to new coach Thomas Franck. That said, the young defender is expected to be a bench option for Spurs in his first season, so his absence will not impact the starting squad.
