Tottenham’s injury curse has struck again with Dominic Solanke suffering a knee problem in training.
Solanke suffered the injury on Saturday ahead of Spurs’ Super Sunday trip to Everton, and it is not yet known for how long he will be sidelined.
The Spurs forward has been a consistent performer since his £65m arrival from Bournemouth in the summer, scoring 11 goals in all competitions.
Speaking ahead of kick-off at Goodison Park, manager Ange Postecoglou said: “Dom tweaked his knee in training yesterday trying to have a shot. I am not sure the extent of it.
“It is always a blow when you lose key players and obviously in the situation we are in it is exemplified by the fact that we do not really have the depth to cover it.”
Tottenham have been plagued by injuries this term, with the majority of their first-choice backline – goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven out of contention.
Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma picked up knocks against Arsenal last time out, with Postecoglou saying that Bissouma’s issue was “not too bad, Brennan probably a bit more significant”.
He added: “But we have 11 fit players and that is enough to start a game with.”

In a blow to Tottenham Hotspur’s already-depleted squad, Dominic Solanke has suffered a knee injury that will see him sidelined for the foreseeable future. The young striker, who has been a key player for the team this season, picked up the injury in training earlier this week.
Solanke’s absence is a major setback for Tottenham, who are already dealing with a number of key players on the sidelines. The club’s injury crisis has worsened in recent weeks, with the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Sergio Reguilon also facing spells on the sidelines.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will now have to rely on other attacking options to fill the void left by Solanke’s absence. The injury comes at a crucial time for Tottenham, who are currently battling for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Solanke, who has been a bright spot for the team this season. In the meantime, Tottenham will need to dig deep and find a way to cope with their growing injury list as they look to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
