Tottenham dealt terrible new blow ahead of Leicester City as Ange Postecoglou missing 14 players
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has revealed the club’s latest injury blow ahead of facing Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday (2pm), with Dominic Solanke ruled out until March.
Postecoglou was without 14 players for Spurs’ Europa League clash against Hoffenheim on Thursday night due to a combination of injuries and ineligibility, with Solanke one of those sidelined after he sustained a knee issue in training last Saturday.
Asked how long the £65million forward would be out, Postecoglou admitted: “With Dom, the information now is that we are looking at around the six-week mark.

“No surgery. Maybe we can get him back a little bit earlier, just see how he progresses, but at this stage it’s saying around six weeks.”
Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham won 3-2 in Germany, after a run of five defeats from their previous eight matches.
“I thought Sonny led from the front tonight with his football but also with his general actions and most importantly the goals,” Postecoglou said.
“Look, we are all copping stick at the moment. That is the nature of the beast. What we do, as footballers and managers, we are all in the firing line at the moment. Whether it is warranted or not, you have to stand up and reply to it in the proper way. I thought he did that tonight."
