Thomas Frank has provided an update on Dominic Solanke’s rehabilitation and whether the striker would need another operation on his ankle.
The England international’s ankle has been troubling him since the summer, and he finally had surgery in September to fix the issue.
Solanke has refused to put a timeline on his recovery, with the striker still waiting for his first start of the season.
Thomas Frank previously hinted that Solanke could be back after the international break, but the Tottenham boss has now given an obtuse answer about the 28-year-old’s return.
Thomas Frank hints Tottenham will not push Dominic Solanke too hard
The good news for Spurs fans is that the striker is unlikely to require any further operation on his ankle.
Speaking to Football.London ahead of the North London derby, Frank said that he is “pretty sure” that the striker will be back soon and will not have to go under the knife again.
The Spurs head coach added about the former Bournemouth man: “We are very aware of how we do things, when do we really push and when do we not push. Now we are in a place where we think he will go forward, and we’ll take it from there.”
