Tottenham Hotspur were dealt a huge blow in their Premier League relegation battle
Tottenham Hotspur and Roberto De Zerbi were dealt yet another injury blow after Dominic Solanke was forced off during their Premier League clash with Wolves.
The Spurs striker was replaced by Richarlison in the 40th minute after going down off the ball and receiving treatment from the physios.
The England international has had a torrid time with injuries since arriving at the club from Bournemouth in 2024, making just 20 appearances in all competitions this season.
Solanke suffered an ankle injury early in the season and needed surgery to put that right, and has made just 15 Premier League appearances.
It's yet another unwanted blow for De Zerbi as he looks to steer Spurs clear of the relegation zone, who are already without several key players.
The Lilywhites head to Molineux to take on already relegated Wolves, two points behind West Ham United in 17th.

Spurs have lost Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Mohammed Kudus, Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie since De Zerbi took over at the club.
It's been a campaign marred by injuries to several key players and the injury to Solanke is yet another major blow in their fight against relegation.
Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have all been out with long-term injuries, though there's hope the latter could return for the World Cup.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with Wolves, De Zerbi said: "I'm sorry for him because he was one of my perfect players.
"He's a very specific player for me, like Kudus, like Romero. I hope he can play in the World Cup because the World Cup for a player is a moment. It's the best period of his career.
"But I don't know the situation very well."
Speaking to ViaPlay about his injury, Kulusevski said: "I haven't played in a year. I know what the chances are. But if there is one person on the planet who can do this, I would bet on myself.
"And we are not just going there to participate. Sweden will aim to be one of the best."
