Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Mohammed Kudus had a scan on Monday so is expected to be unavailable.
Destiny Udogie "is training and looking better", but Frank could not say for certain whether he will be fit enough for Wednesday's game.
Frank says Dominic Solanke will be back "in the near future", but after six months sidelined "it will take time" for him to get back to his previous level.
Frank said "it's fair to say we are short of offensive options" so is hopeful to solve that issue in the January transfer window.
He confirmed the club have appealed against Cristian Romero's red card against Brentford.
On opponents Bournemouth: "They're a very good team. I know they haven't won as much lately but they are very competitive. The game against Arsenal [on Saturday] was very tricky and they could have got something out of [it]."
He said the FA Cup "is very important" and the third-round tie against Aston Villa on Saturday is "as important" as Wednesday's Premier League game. Frank added: "If there is rotation, it will be for freshness and energy."
