Update on Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke's injury status in the Premier League

Solanke, who is 27 years old, has scored six goals in various competitions this season. He aims to showcase his talent and justify why Tottenham spent £65m to acquire him in the summer. Despite stiff competition from teammate Richarlison, Solanke has been a regular starter for Spurs, featuring in the majority of their Premier League matches.

But having not been involved in the 1-1 draw against Fulham at the weekend, fans and FPL nerds are all asking the same question. Will he feature against his former side on Thursday?

Is Dominic Solanke fit to play for Spurs against Bournemouth?

Manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to be asked about Solanke in his pre-match media duties but did also speak about the England international following the draw against Fulham this weekend.

It remains to be seen whether he will feature but Postecoglou did give a positive update on the matter in both his interview with Tottenham's club media and in his post-match press conference.

“Dom trained yesterday, but the illness hit him overnight, so we’ll have to see how he recovers," began Ange.

"He came to the ground and wanted to try (to make himself available), but we could tell as soon as we saw him that he wasn’t in a fit state to play, so we sent him home. I haven’t seen Archie, but he picked up a bit of a knock, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Asked about his inclusion against the Cherries, Postecoglou added: “I hope so. He trained yesterday but he came in today and didn’t look well at all, so we sent him home.

"It’s obviously an illness, not an injury, so we need to see how it settles down in the next couple of days but hopefully it’s nothing too significant.”

In FourFourTwo's view, we can safely presume Solanke should be fit to feature against Bournemouth given he was rested at the weekend against the Cottagers.

The 27-year-old will be bidding to score against his former side but whether or not he chooses to celebrate at the Vitality Stadium remains another question.
