Tottenham Hotspur’s Nigerian-born striker, Dominic Solanke is likely to miss this weekend’s English Premier League derby with Arsenal, Sports247 gathered.
In contrast with previous expectations that the former Liverpool, Chelsea and Bournemouth hitman would recover during the international break, a strong note of doubt still hangs over him.

As the seconds countdown rapidly towards Sunday’s big game, all odds are staked against Solanke, who copped a knock during pre-season and has played only a couple of games as a substitute.
A report by British newspaper, The Standard adds: “It is almost four months since Dominic Solanke led the line for Tottenham in their first pre-season match of the summer.
“(He) has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in pre-season. The 28-year-old has not started a single competitive match under Thomas Frank.
“His three appearances this season have all come off the bench and he featured for a grand total of 31 minutes in the Premier League.
“The most recent of those appearances came in August against Manchester City and the wait for Solanke’s first-team return goes on.”
