According to the latest update from manager Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke will not be able to play in their upcoming match against Everton this Saturday. However, defender Pedro Porro will be back on the field for the team.
Solanke, who was signed by Spurs for a whopping £65million from Bournemouth this summer, made his debut in their previous game against Leicester City. Unfortunately, he suffered an ankle injury during the match and will not be able to join his team in their next game. Although the injury is not severe, there is no guarantee that he will be fit for their following match against Newcastle United.
Postecoglou shared, "Dom got a knock in the last game and even though he managed to play through it, the injury flared up the next day. As a result, he won't be able to play tomorrow." He further explained that the injury was to his ankle and was caused by someone accidentally stepping on it in the early stages of the game. The team is hopeful that Solanke will recover during the international break and will be back in action soon.
On the other hand, Porro, who scored Tottenham's first goal of the season in their previous match, also suffered a knock and was substituted in the second half. However, he has recovered well and will most likely start in their upcoming game against Sean Dyche's team. Postecoglou also mentioned that midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will not be available due to concussion protocols after being stretchered off in the last game.
"Whenever there is a head injury, we need to be extra cautious," Postecoglou stated. "Rodrigo has been doing well in his recovery and has passed all the tests, but we will take our time to ensure that he is fully fit before putting him back on the field. It's unfortunate for him, especially since he had a good game on Monday night."
In better news, midfielder Biss is available for selection and Porro has returned to training this week with no other injury concerns. The team is looking forward to their upcoming game and is focused on getting a positive result.
