Tottenham will be without Dominic Solanke for their Premier League match against Everton on Sunday due to injury.
The 27-year-old, who has scored seven goals in the Premier League this season, has suffered a muscular injury according to MailOnline and will be absent for his side’s trip to Goodison Park.
The report adds that there is a concern that Solanke, who was signed in a £65 million deal from Bournemouth last summer, could miss more than just the game against Everton this weekend.
After the match against Everton, Spurs travel to Hoffenheim in the Europa League before hosting Leicester City in the Premier League next Sunday.
For his side’s game against Everton at 2pm on Sunday, Ange Postecoglou is already without seven first-team players, while Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma are doubts to feature.
Richarlison returned from a two-month absence Spurs 2-1 defeat to Arsenal this week and could now deputise up front with Solanke out.
‘We’ve been really careful in the way we’ve brought him back this time. He’s probably been ready to go for a couple of weeks. We’ve given him extra work,’ Postecoglou said of Richarlison on Friday.
‘I thought he was really good when he came on the other night [at Arsenal], you could see his quality.
‘He is one of these guys that does lead by example, particularly when he plays. It’s great to have him back.
‘With Richy, it’s about him gaining confidence in his body as well. We can do that in the next few weeks.
‘He’ll certainly play a part in the Everton game. Hopefully get him some more minutes than the other night, because if we can keep him fit, I’ve got no doubt he’ll be a really important player for us.’
