Muani was on his way to Stansted Airport before their Champions League game against Eintracht Frankfurt when the accident happened.
The French bomber crashed his Ferrari Purosangue along the M-25 but to luck good, he survived unharmed. His partner, Wilson Odobert, who was following him, got out of his car to make sure he was okay.
Is Randal Kolo Muani OK?
Tottenham Hotspur’s coach, Thomas Frank, has explained that it was a tire explosion that caused the accident and confirmed that both players are fine.
“Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are both fine. Unfortunately, they were both involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved in the accident was fine. It was a flat tire. So, the two are a little late; they will arrive a little later tonight. That’s the first thing,” he explained during his press conference through the club’s website.

Frank will be hoping the two arrive in time as the injury crisis continues to bite. He will be missing up to 11 first-team players, with Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven joining the medical table.
“Pedro hasn’t traveled; he’s got a hamstring injury, so he’ll be out for four weeks. Micky hasn’t traveled – little, little thing, maybe he’ll be available at the weekend. I think that’s it.”
What are the statistics of Randal Kolo Muani this season?
The 27-year-old was signed on a direct loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The club paid KSh 767 million as a loan fee, but the contract has no obligation to buy at the end of the season.
Muani has played 23 times in all competitions but has yet to score in the Premier League. His only two goals and two assists have come in the Champions League.
Spurs have a different level this season in the two competitions. In the Premier League, they are in 14th place with 28 points, just eight above the relegation places, 10 behind Manchester United in fourth place and 22 behind the league leaders and their rivals, Arsenal.
They are in fifth place in the Champions League and a win against Frankfurt will ensure direct qualification.
Why will all UCL games start at the same time?
All Wednesday night’s Champions League matches will kick off at the same time in 18 different stadiums across Europe.
All the final group stage games usually start at the same time after the famous ‘Gijon Embarrassment’ in the 1982 World Cup involving West Germany, Austria and Algeria.
The matches will start at 11pm EAT.
