Tottenham have been handed another Dominic Solanke delay, as Thomas Frank continues to deal with a long list of injuries heading into a crucial Premier League run.
Tottenham Hotspur are dealing with an injury crisis, with well over twelve players currently sidelined ahead of their clash against Chelsea in the Premier League.
Frank has, however, been handed a boost, with three players set to be in contention for the weekend fixture, which will no doubt come as a relief.
Spurs face a hectic run of games between now and the next international break, with fixtures coming every three days, and Frank will be keen to see his key players stay fit and available throughout this period.
Thomas Frank provides Dominic Solanke injury update
Dominic Solanke has been nursing an injury for quite some time now and has yet to start a league game under Thomas Frank.
The English striker underwent surgery earlier in the season, but it is understood that his current knock is nothing particularly serious.
Speaking to the official Tottenham channels, Frank provided an update on his number nine, revealing when supporters can expect him back in action.
He said: “We are very aware that we want Dom back. We want him back and no setbacks. We are very aware of doing it in the right way. It is going in the right way but he will not be back before the international break.”
Solanke could return for the north London derby
Should Dominic Solanke return after the international break, he would miss three more matches for Tottenham.
Spurs face Chelsea at the weekend, before taking on Copenhagen in midweek and then Manchester United next weekend, before the November break.
However, Frank could be handed a major boost, as Solanke is expected to be available for the north London derby against Arsenal after the international break.
