Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, sports injury specialist Dr Rajpal Brar shared his verdict on Dominic Solanke’s injury and recovery:

"Based on the mechanism of the injury, knee twisting per , this sounds like either a Grade 2 ligament injury or a meniscus injury," he explained.

“Initially, it sounded like would’ve been back in training by mid-February but he’s now set to be out longer than expected initially and does not seem likely to return until March."

The Spurs forward was ruled out for approximately six weeks after twisting his knee during a training session.

Dominic Solanke sustained the injury while attempting a shot on goal, with Ange Postecoglou describing it as an unfortunate and unexpected incident.
