Postecoglou Issues Solanke Injury Update After Spurs SetbackTottenham’s injury woes continued as Dominic Solanke suffered a fresh setback during their 1-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

Tottenham are in danger of stretching their trophyless run to more than 17 years after losing the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie at AZ, with one key star slammed for his performance and another going off injured again.

The England striker made his comeback after seven weeks out with a knee injury as a second-half replacement for captain Heung-min Son in Thursday night’s Europa League last-16 first-leg defeat in the Netherlands, but had to be replaced himself in stoppage time by Dane Scarlett.

However, he lasted just 20 minutes, limping off the field, replaced by Dane Scarlett in injury time of the 1-0 loss. The injury came after a collision with AZ goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro, with Solanke jumping for a header and coming off badly from the impact with the stopper.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has provided an update on Dominic Solanke’s injury after the striker limped off late in the 1-0 loss against AZ Alkmaar. The Australian manager said he remains hopeful that Solanke will recover quickly from his latest setback and suggested he may have only suffered a minor knock.
