Dominic Solanke will not feature in Tottenham Hotspur’s weekend fixture against Everton after picking up an injury, Ange Postecoglou has confirmed.
Solanke made his Spurs debut in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City, having made a club-record £65million switch from Bournemouth earlier in the window.
The Englishman played the full 90 minutes, but did struggle in front of goal, missing several chances on a frustrating night for Spurs.
Postecoglou admitted he’d need more from his new striker going forward, but hopes of that coming anytime soon appear to have been dashed.
That’s because the former Chelsea star will play no part in Saturday’s fixture having picked up a knock during the stalemate against Leicester.
Speaking ahead of the Everton clash, Postecoglou revealed: “Dom [Solanke] picked up a knock in the last game. He got through the game but it flared up the day after and he’ll miss the game tomorrow.
“It’s an ankle injury, he copped it really early on, someone went across his ankle.”
The former Celtic chief finished up with: “It [his return] just depends on his recovery [when he returns], obviously we’ve got the international break. but it’s not serious.”
