Tottenham's Kolo Muani Unhurt After Ferrari Tyre Blowout Crash on M25 — Frank Confirms Duo 'Fine' for Frankfurt Clash

 

Tottenham Hotspur forward Randal Kolo Muani escaped unharmed after a tyre blowout caused a minor car crash on the M25 motorway, with the incident leaving his high-value Ferrari heavily damaged but the player and teammate Wilson Odobert both confirmed fit ahead of their crucial Champions League fixture.

The mishap occurred on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as the 27-year-old French striker—on loan from Paris Saint-Germain—was en route to Stansted Airport following training at Hotspur Way. Kolo Muani was driving a black Ferrari Purosangue, an SUV valued at around £313,000 (often exceeding £400,000 with extras), when the offside front tyre exploded, leading to loss of control and significant front-end damage to the vehicle.

Teammate Wilson Odobert, traveling in a separate car behind him, pulled over immediately to check on his fellow forward. Social media images circulated widely showing the pair standing beside the wrecked Ferrari on a lay-by, with the car's front end visibly crumpled.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank addressed the incident during his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt. "Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine," Frank stated. "Unfortunately, they were both involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved is fine. It was a tyre blowing up, so the two of them are a little bit delayed, but they will land later tonight."

Frank confirmed that both players were slightly delayed in joining the squad but were expected to arrive in Germany in time for the match. He expressed full confidence in their availability, noting the incident was minor and had not caused any injuries.

The crash comes at a challenging time for Spurs, who are navigating a demanding period in the Champions League league phase while dealing with multiple injuries. Frank also revealed that right-back Pedro Porro is sidelined for four weeks with a hamstring issue, and defender Micky van de Ven is unavailable, further thinning the squad.

Kolo Muani, who joined Tottenham in the summer transfer window, has yet to score in the Premier League this season but has contributed twice in the Champions League, providing vital attacking options for the team currently positioned fifth in the competition's league phase standings.

No other vehicles or individuals were reported injured in the incident, and authorities have not indicated any further investigation beyond the tyre failure. The club has not commented on the condition of the vehicle or potential insurance implications.

Fans and pundits have expressed relief at the players' safety, with many highlighting how such incidents underscore the risks even high-profile athletes face off the pitch.
