Tottenham face new Dominic Solanke injury concern ahead of new season
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Sydney FC 4-2 on penalties in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday, making it three wins from three under manager Roberto De Zerbi. However, the match was overshadowed by a new injury concern for striker Dominic Solanke. Journalist Chris Cowlin reported on X that Solanke was seen limping into the team hotel after training on Tuesday. Solanke, 28, has a recent history of ankle problems, having missed 33 games and 140 days after undergoing ankle surgery at the start of the 2025/26 campaign. He returned in January but suffered another injury by season's end, managing only 20 appearances and six goals across all competitions. The article notes that De Zerbi and the club have not commented, but given Solanke's fragility, the hierarchy may need to intensify their search for a reliable No.9 ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
