Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has shared a fresh update as he continues to recover from injury. The forward has featured only three times this season while trying to manage the problem. Solanke is aiming for a quick comeback, with manager Thomas Frank saying in early October that he didn’t expect the former Bournemouth attacker to face a long layoff.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old hasn\u2019t played for Spurs since August and has managed just 49 minutes in total against Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Burnley. Despite the setback, the England international has tried to stay upbeat, as shown by his recent Instagram posts. On Sunday, he wrote \u201cLittle bit of life\u201d alongside several photos, following a similar post four weeks earlier that read \u201cPositivity through the dark times.\u201d His social media activity suggests he believes his return is not far away.<\/p>\n
Solanke recently gave a more detailed update online, saying:
\n\u201cHi everyone, quick update on my situation. The last few months have been very frustrating as I\u2019ve tried everything to push through my ankle issue before choosing surgery. Nothing worked, so we went ahead with a minor operation this morning. It was successful, so hopefully I\u2019ll be back very soon. Thank you for all your support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Spurs\u2019 Champions League match against Bodo\/Glimt in September, Frank confirmed that Solanke missed the game because of the procedure.
\n\u201cDom has had an ankle problem for a while,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe decided on a small surgery, so he\u2019s unavailable today and will miss Leeds as well. We\u2019ll give clearer timelines after the international break, but he shouldn\u2019t be out for long.\u201d<\/p>\n
