Involved in training
Solanke (ankle) was shown training in a clip posted by Tottenham, marking his first visible step forward after sitting out the club's last three matches, including Saturday's friendly loss to Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Solanke has been absent since Tottenham's August first friendly against Chelsea, with an ankle issue that first surfaced as discomfort in training and led the club to withhold him as a precaution from an earlier friendly against Getafe, then also missed out against Hoffenheim, stretching his run of missed matches to three and deepening concern given how last season unfolded, when the same type of fitness setback limited him to just 15 appearances and three goals. The training footage now offers the clearest indication yet that he's moving in the right direction. As Tottenham's first-choice striker, getting Solanke back involved matters significantly for Roberto De Zerbi's attacking options heading into the Premier League opener. The striker will likely need to continue building up his workload and complete full group training without any reaction to the ankle before being cleared for match action, with a place on the bench against Brentford appearing realistic if his progress continues, while Richarlison could start up front.
Not available for final friendly
Solanke (ankle) is not available for Saturday's final friendly against Hoffenheim, raising some concern about his availability for the Premier League season opener, the club posted.
Analysis: Solanke had already been ruled out of an earlier friendly against Getafe as a precaution after feeling ankle discomfort in training, and this continued absence adds to worries after a previous campaign already derailed by fitness setbacks that limited him to just 15 appearances and three goals. Richarlison figures to continue leading the line in his absence, and further clarity on Solanke's status will be needed as Tottenham approaches the start of the new 2026/27 Premier League season.
