The striker has spent almost a month on the sidelines following a hamstring injury in our 1-0 win against Wolves at Molineux on 25 April. That means he’s missed our last three matches against Villa, Leeds and Chelsea, but he’s now back and in the mix for the Premier League season finale at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Roberto was asked about Dominic’s availability - and how many minutes he could expect from James Maddison, who has stepped off the bench for 16 and 28-minute stints against Leeds and Chelsea on his return from an ACL.
“Solanke is available for tomorrow,” said Roberto. “We have to decide if he starts in the first 11 or not. Maddison is available. It's always tough to decide before the game how many minutes he can play. Of course, he's a different player, he's a top player for us, but we have to analyse the physical condition, the Italian weather (he said, smiling) and a lot of things, but both are available.”
Roberto was later asked about Djed Spence, who suffered a facial injury after a clash with Liam Delap at Stamford Bridge.
“He's available, he's available,” he said. “I think it was another situation bad for us because I think it was a red card for Delap, but I have to repeat, I have no time and energy to lose thinking about red card, yellow card - we move on thinking just on the game. So, obviously, he can play.”
