Dominic Solanke - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes crucial goal-line clearance Solanke recorded one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Leeds United.

Impact Solanke entered the contest in the 43rd minute, replacing the injured Mathys Tel, but struggled to make an attacking impact as Tottenham fell to defeat. The striker made a crucial intervention in the 50th minute, blocking Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal-bound header on the line to temporarily preserve the deadlock. However, he failed to register a shot as Leeds dominated the second half. Solanke's involvement could increase in the coming fixtures if Tel faces an extended absence, although his prospects of securing regular starts remain uncertain.

Impact Solanke scored a glancing header in the 92nd minute Saturday, a goal which tied the match at 1-1 and earned Spurs a very important point. It was one of four shots he took in the match and he put two on target. It marked his third consecutive start as he's carved out a role in the starting XI. He'll need to return to his goalscoring form for a team that has struggled to score through six matches this season.

Still building fitness Solanke is still building fitness after playing 66 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, per Alasdair Gold of Football.London. "We n...

Impact Solanke had a rough 66 minutes of play Saturday as Villa overcame Tottenham for a win, recording two shots in the loss but staying uneventful outside of the few chances. That said, the forward is appearing to still be working on his fitness after a few seasons of injuries, struggling to find much success with the Spurs since his debut season with the club. He was a forward of solid caliber before his downfall due to injuries, so he hopes to return to regular form once his fitness levels are right, having yet to record a goal in his five appearances (two starts) this season.

Close to starting return Solanke is closing in on a return to the starting lineup and could start against Everton in the league or in the midweek cup game against Liverpool. coach Roberto De Zerbi said whe...

Impact Solanke remains an important option for coach Roberto De Zerbi and is now close to a starting return after being carefully managed through the early part of the season. The forward spent much of last season dealing with a recurring ankle issue before missing Tottenham's final four games, and Tottenham's medical team were cautious about rushing him back during preseason because of his injury history and jet lag concerns. His only start this season came in the cup against Charlton, where he scored. Omar Marmoush has moved into the central role during Solanke's limited availability, but the Egyptian can also be used on the wing, leaving room for Solanke to reclaim the striker position without necessarily pushing Marmoush out of the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Set for bench role Solanke has appeared off the bench in the opening three matches, playing 43 minutes while compiling three shots.

Impact Following the addition of Omar Marmoush, it looks like Solanke will play second fiddle in the attack this season unless Roberto De Zerbie has a change of mind. Marmoush can play from the wing, but for now, that doesn't seem like it will be happening. That being the case, Solanke will likely remain the backup No. 9 unless Spurs continue struggling to score in front of net.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in EFL Cup win Solanke scored a goal in 71 minutes of play during Wednesday's EFL Cup victory over Charlton.

Impact Solanke made a solid impression in his return to the starting lineup after being limited due to an ankle issue. With the physical problem fully behind him, the striker is ready to compete to be Spurs' first-choice No. 9 and should have a strong chance of leading the front line starting from Premier League week two clash against Newcastle. The former Bournemouth man will look to improve on his 2025/26 output of six goals and no assists in 19 appearances across all competitions, having previously shown he's capable of much bigger production when given consistent opportunities. As Solanke's role grows, Richarlison will see his value significantly affected, with the Brazilian pushed to the bench or into a deeper position on the pitch.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play in cup Solanke is available and could start in Wednesday's cup game against Charlton after featuring off the bench in Saturday's league opener, according to head coach Roberto De Zerbi. "...

Impact Solanke made his return after being sidelined with an ankle issue in Saturday's game against Brentford and could be in line to start Wednesday's cup match. The manager's comments carried both backing and pressure, calling him an important player while pointedly noting he must perform better than he did against Brentford, and stressing the need for a striker who can hold the ball when opponents defend man-to-man. With Richarlison having deputized capably in his absence and Omar Marmoush set to arrive, Wednesday reads as a chance for Solanke to reassert himself rather than a guaranteed path back into the league side.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Solanke (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's opener against Brentford.

Impact Solanke has not played since Aug. 1 against Chelsea due to ankle discomfort that kept him out of the club's last three matches. He has made encouraging progress in recent days and returned to training, but he will only be available from the bench Saturday as expected following the layoff. He will look to push Richarlison for the starting role in the coming matches.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Brentford Solanke (ankle) is back available and included in Tottenham's group for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Solanke inside the list."

Impact Solanke's return caps his recovery from an ankle issue that first surfaced as discomfort in training and kept him out of the club's last three matches. He'd already been shown taking encouraging steps forward in recent training footage, and his inclusion now confirms that progress has held. As Tottenham's first-choice striker, his availability is a major boost for manager Roberto De Zerbi's attacking options, though a start still looks unlikely given the layoff, with Richarlison probably leading the line instead.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

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 frien...

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Solanke's previous campaign was derailed by fitness setbacks, limiting him to just 15 appearances and three goals as he struggled to string together consistent minutes. When healthy, he remains Tottenham's first choice striker and a proven finisher at Premier League level, making this latest scare worth monitoring closely. Richarlison is expected to lead the line in his absence until Solanke's return. Solanke is expected to be reassessed as the club continues preseason preparations.

Tottenham contact Real Madrid over potential transfer deal for player not in Jose Mourinho's plans

Makes bench Sunday Solanke (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Everton.

Impact Solanke recovered from the hamstring injury that had forced him to miss the last three fixtures, earning a spot in the squad after manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed he was fit enough to feature for the season finale. The forward has started 11 of his 15 appearances this season, bagging three goals, but the club opted to manage his return carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight back into the starting lineup after the hamstring scare. His impact from the substitutes bench is expected to come later in the match as Tottenham close out the campaign.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Option to face Everton Solanke (hamstring) is an option for Sunday's match against Everton, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Solanke had to miss the midweek clash for Tottenham this week after a hamstring injury, but is back in contention for the season finale, with the forward deemed fit enough to play. However, it remains in question if he will be able to start, with that being the only uncertainty or the forward. He has started in 11 of his 15 appearances this season while bagging three goals, so he will hope to be given the starting role, or he will be expected to feature off the bench later in the match.

Out Tuesday, hopeful for Sunday Solanke (hamstring) will miss Tuesday's clash against Chelsea but could return for Sunday's final fixture against Everton, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Solanke is not good...

Impact Solanke's continued absence is a frustrating development after he had been targeting a return for Tuesday's fixture, though De Zerbi's comments offer some encouragement heading into the final weekend of the season. The striker has had a difficult year with injuries, and the club is clearly unwilling to rush him back before he is fully ready. Mathys Tel, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison are expected to continue covering in the attack for Tuesday's clash against Chelsea.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing Chelsea match for return Solanke (hamstring) is eyeing a return when facing Chelsea on May 19, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "He's improving quickly, I don't know for this game, we hope for the ne...

Impact Solanke is set to miss another match as he deals with a hamstring injury, but will not remain out the rest of the season, instead expected to return when facing Chelsea next week. He will still need to train and continue to boost his fitness, as they will want to make sure the forward is completely fit after a year full of injuries. He has been a starter as of late, so expect Mathys Tel, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison to start in the attack due to his absence.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Villa, return unknown Solanke (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Aston Villa and is questionable to return this season, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know yet [if he will be...

Impact Solanke is still struggling with a hamstring injury and is at least out for a further match as he tries for a return. However, there are bigger question marks, as the forward is even questionable to return at all this campaign. This could be a brutal end of the season for a forward who has struggled with injuries all season, playing in only 19 games all season.
