Amid reports that Dominic Solanke’s injury is much worse than initially feared, the Tottenham striker has taken to social media to send what appears to be a cryptic message.
Solanke missed the majority of pre-season due to an injury, and it was thought that the striker had recovered from that problem as he came off the bench against Burnley and Man City.
However, the same ankle problem resurfaced, ruling Solanke out of the Bournemouth clash, which Tottenham lost 1-0 on Saturday.
Thomas Frank said that he is hopeful Solanke will return to action after the international break, but there have been some alarming reports about the striker’s injury over the last 48 hours.
Dominic Solanke’s cryptic message amidst serious Tottenham injury rumours
Jake Sanders of The Sun claimed a couple of days ago that Solanke’s ankle injury is much more serious than initially thought, with the journalist suggesting that the forward could spend a significant spell on the sidelines.
Some even wondered if the England international’s injury was the main reason why Tottenham signed Randal Kolo Muani on loan on transfer deadline day.
Amidst the ongoing transfer rumours, the former Bournemouth striker has taken to Instagram stories to post a picture of himself at the gym, thus putting an end to rumours that he has undergone surgery.
Some Spurs fans are underestimating Solanke
Because of Solanke’s struggles when he returned from injury during the latter part of last season, there is a sense among many pundits and even some Spurs fans that he has been a flop.
However, the 27-year-old was flying during the first half of last season, and there are very few centre-forwards in the Premier League who are as well-rounded both on and off the ball as him.
He has a lot of competition for his place in the side, given the way Richarlison has started the season and the signing of Kolo Muani, but it would not be surprising if the £65m establishes himself as Frank’s main man upfront.
