Dominic Solanke was a great addition to the Tottenham Hotspur side last season.

He was an effective finisher at his striker position, and he also was excellent at hold-up play.

This season hasn't been the same for Solanke so far. He's hardly been on the pitch.

That will remain true Sunday when Spurs take on Everton.

Why isn't Dominic Solanke playing today?

Dominic Solanke remains out of the Tottenham side due to injury.

He had surgery on his ankle and is not yet fully recovered.

Spurs manager Thomas Frank has choices to make up top for as long as Solanke is out.

The new guy Randal Kolo Muani has only come off the bench so far but could be a consideration.

Frank has also used Mathys Tel up top, although Richarlison has been the most frequent choice to play as the striker with no Solanke.

Tottenham needs to find a way past Jordan Pickford a couple times to beat Everton and stay near the top of the Premier League, and Spurs will continue to have to find a way to do so without Solanke.
