Team news | Ange’s latest on Solanke and Sonny | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou had positive news on Dominic Solanke before confirming that Heung-Min Son is ‘progressing’ but hasn’t travelled out to Norway with the squad for our UEFA Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt.

Dominic felt his quad muscle and was substituted after 75 minutes of the first leg against the Norwegian champions at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week. Just 15 minutes earlier, he’d converted from the penalty spot for a 3-0 lead as it ended 3-1 in N17.

The striker missed Sunday’s Premier League derby draw at West Ham but is back in the frame in Bodo. Speaking to the media ahead of training this evening at Aspmyra Stadion, Ange said: “Dom’s good. He’s ready to go. He’s trained with us for the last couple of days, so he’s no problem.”

Meanwhile, skipper Sonny continues to work his way back to fitness from a foot injury that has kept him out for our last six matches, but he’s not yet ready to return.

“It’s disappointing for Sonny,” added Ange. “He’s pushing hard. He has progressed, and there is a possibility of him getting some game time at the weekend, but he hasn’t trained with the team, yet. However, he is progressing. We’ll wait to see how he goes.”

Ange also relayed the disappointing news that James Maddison will be out for the season after suffering a knee injury in the first leg last week. He joins Lucas Bergvall and Radu Dragusin on the sidelines for the remainder of the campaign.
