Tottenham Dealt Fresh Injury Blow Ahead of Everton Clash

• Dominic Solanke sidelined after knee injury.
• Summer signing has scored 11 goals in all competitions.
• Spurs struggle with extended injury list amid poor form.

Tottenham Hotspur face a significant setback as striker Dominic Solanke has been ruled out of their Premier League clash against Everton on Sunday due to a knee injury.

The 27-year-old, who signed for Spurs in the summer for £55m on a six-year deal, has been a standout performer for the team. Solanke has netted seven Premier League goals and an additional four across other competitions, earning widespread acclaim from fans despite the club’s ongoing struggles.

Spurs’ Mounting Injury Woes

The injury reportedly occurred during or after Tottenham’s north London derby defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday. Manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to provide more details during his pre-match press conference, but early indications suggest Solanke could be sidelined for an extended period.

Solanke’s absence adds to an already long list of injuries plaguing Spurs this season. Key defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven remain out, along with left-back Destiny Udogie. First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is also unavailable after fracturing a foot bone during Spurs’ 4-0 win over Manchester City in November—a result that now feels like a distant memory as the team languishes in 15th place.

Other players confirmed to miss the Everton clash include Rodrigo Bentancur, Wilson Odobert, and Timo Werner, while Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma remain doubtful with minor injuries.

Critical Match for Spurs

Sunday’s trip to Goodison Park presents an opportunity for Tottenham to break their poor run of form, with just one win in their last nine Premier League games. Everton, who are also struggling this season, could be the ideal opponent for Postecoglou’s side to turn things around.

The absence of Solanke, however, raises questions about Spurs’ attacking options as they attempt to reverse their fortunes in what is shaping up to be a critical game for their season.
