Cristian Romero was absent from Tottenham 's open training session ahead of the Champions League trip to Monaco .
The Spurs captain is now a major doubt for Wednesday’s match and could be ruled out for the second European match in a row, having missed the trip to Bodo/Glimt.
Destiny Udogie was also missing from the main group, having picked up a knee injury while on international duty with Italy earlier in October.
Romero watched from the bench as Spurs were beaten by Aston Villa on Sunday after he pulled out during the warm-up.
The centre-back was named in the starting lineup but he had been batting an adductor issue in the build-up to the match and it was decided he was not to fit to face Villa.
Speaking after that match, Frank insisted it was only a “minor” problem, but admitted he did not know whether Romero would be fit to face Monaco .
That now appears unlikely. Spurs trained at Hotspur Way on Tuesday morning before they fly out later in the day and Romero and Udogie were not involved in the session with his team-mates.
Frank will provide an update on the situation at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday evening.
