Dominic Solanke
28-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
OUT
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 11/29/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Solanke got his big move from Bournemouth to Tottenham last summer and then promptly led his new club to a finish below his former one in the table. That's not to say all of Spurs' offensive woes were on Solanke, as injuries hampered him and the team around him, limiting him to just nine goals. He started when fit and had some runs of excellent form that showed why Spurs brought him in. If he can stay healthy, there's a chance for a monster Solanke season in 2025/26, playing a role in a new Thomas Frank system that consistently produced big attacking numbers for Brentford.
Return date still unknown
Solanke (ankle) is working on a recovery and has no timetable for a return, the player told Jay Harris of The Athletic. "I'm not putting a timeline on it because I've been telling everyone 'I'm going to be back soon' for the last few months. I'm taking it day by day, but hopefully I won't be much longer."
ANALYSIS
It's been a troubled start to the season for Solanke, who underwent surgery on his ankle in early October. He's yet to play since the opening month and it sounds like he won't be returning in November. Given his time away, he'll need at least a week of full training to build his fitness before he's considered in the squad for the senior team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs waiting to make move
Tottenham are still waiting to complete a move for Solanke, according to The London Evening Standard.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs are looking to bolster their attack and hope to sign Solanke, but for that to happen, they need to part ways with another forward first, and Richarlison tops the list. As things stand now, a move for the Englishman could be dependent on the future of the 27-year-old Brazilian striker, who could move to Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks.
