Report: Tottenham’s Solanke Suffers Grade-Two Hamstring Tear With Season In Doubt

The setback threatens Tottenham’s survival push by stripping more depth from an already depleted squad.

Overview

  • The Telegraph reported, and Fabrizio Romano echoed, that scans point to a grade-two hamstring tear for Dominic Solanke, with Spurs yet to issue formal confirmation.
  • Staff quoted by Romano expect it will be hard for the striker to play again this season, since a grade-two tear often needs six to eight weeks of rehab.
  • Solanke came off during the win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the setback leaves Roberto De Zerbi short of forwards for the run-in.
  • The blow adds to a crowded injury list that already includes Xavi Simons with a torn ACL, Cristian Romero with a knee injury, and long-term absences for Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski.
  • Spurs are in the relegation zone with four league games left, and fans and pundits are pressing the club to review its medical and conditioning setup.
