Dominic Solanke missed Tottenham’s weekend fixture against Fulham due to illness, which led to his late withdrawal.

Although improving, the £65 million summer signing remains short of full fitness ahead of Thursday’s clash with his former club Bournemouth.
Manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed in his press conference that Solanke is expected to train but isn’t guaranteed to start. With Richarlison sidelined, Son Heung-min may once again take on the striking duties, as seen during the 1-1 draw with Fulham.
Defensive Woes Continue
Spurs continue to deal with the absence of first-choice defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
Postecoglou shared some positive news, stating that Romero is nearing a return to full training, potentially rejoining the group by Friday or early next week.
Meanwhile, Van de Ven remains out, alongside Guglielmo Vicario and Rodrigo Bentancur, who are unavailable due to injury and suspension, respectively.
Spurs’ Top-Six Ambitions
A victory over Bournemouth on Thursday could propel Tottenham back into the top six, provided Nottingham Forest fail to secure a win against Manchester City.
Spurs have drawn their last two matches against Roma and Fulham, making this an essential opportunity to regain momentum and strengthen their position in the league standings.
