Tottenham handed Dominic Solanke boost ahead of Bayern Munich clash
Tottenham Hotspur have received a timely boost as Dominic Solanke nears a return ahead of the Bayern Munich friendly.
Tottenham Hotspur have not been injury-free so far in their pre-season preparations. Destiny Udogie has been sidelined and even missed out on Tottenham’s tour of Asia.
Dejan Kulusevski has been working his way back to full fitness but is expected to miss the opening games of the new season, with expectations that he will be back sometime during the spring.
James Maddison looked to have been building up his match fitness with limited minutes against Arsenal and Newcastle; however, Maddison suffered another brutal knock against the Magpies, reinjuring his knee.
Dominic Solanke expected to be available for Tottenham vs Bayern Munich
Tottenham have now been handed a major boost on the injury front, as the Standard is now reporting that striker Dominic Solanke is expected to be available for selection for Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich.
Tottenham are set to take on the German champions today, August 7, at the Allianz Arena in what will be their final friendly game before they play their first competitive match under new boss Thomas Frank in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.
Solanke picked up an ankle injury in Tottenham’s friendly clash against Reading in July and has not appeared since, but it is hoped he can return to the fold as the Lilywhites visit Bavaria to face Bayern Munich.
Spurs still light in attack despite Dominic Solanke’s fitness update
Even with Solanke’s potential return to fitness, Tottenham remain short in the attacking area of their team ahead of their big final in the Super Cup.
James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are both sidelined, leaving Tottenham without a recognised attacking midfielder in their team heading into the new season.
Spurs have bolstered the defensive midfield spot with the signing of Joao Palhinha, but if they are to compete, the Lilywhites need to complete the signing of a new creative midfielder, who would link up with the returning Solanke.
