Dominic Solanke is the latest Tottenham player to have picked up an injury, with Ange Postecoglou facing the possibility of having 11 senior players unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Everton. According to the Mail, Solanke is now set for a spell on the sidelines amid concerns he will miss more than just the game against the Toffees.

Spurs currently have four of their first-choice back five absent due to injuries, among other issues. Guglielmo Vicario and Wilson Odobert are the long-term injury concerns, and while Postecoglou was able to reveal one player will return on Sunday, Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma are fresh doubts. "There's a couple still sore from mid-week, just waiting to see how Brennan is, he's got a bit of a calf complaint," he said in a press conference.

"Biss has been sore as well, so just waiting for information on them. Coming back, Ben Davies should be involved." Elsewhere, Destiny Udogie is not expected back until next month with Timo Werner to return at a similar point after suffering a hamstring injury during the FA Cup tie against Tamworth.

The two most important players for Postecoglou's style of play are certainly Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, but both are in line for returns later this month. "Micky and Romero around the same time, they're all slated to return at the back end of January," he said at the start of 2025.

In terms of positive injury news, Richarlison returned from a lengthy absence in the North London Derby, but just as one striker returns, another is facing a period out. While the report from the Mail is unconfirmed, six weeks has been mooted as the spell he could miss, which in the worst-case scenario would result in him being unavailable for 11 games. Given his importance to Postecoglou and the way Spurs press, this is a disastrous blow, and it really does sum up the Lilywhites' season.

It is perhaps no surprise he has suffered an issue given the fact he has played so many minutes in recent weeks simply because Postecoglou has no one else available that can do that job.
