The Standard reports that Dominic Solanke could be ready to start for Tottenham for the first time since April, with Roberto De Zerbi saying the forward may be available from the outset against Everton on Saturday evening.
De Zerbi also indicated that if Solanke is not selected this weekend, he could instead start in Tottenham’s Carabao Cup third-round tie against Liverpool next Tuesday. The report says Spurs have taken a cautious approach after his recent injury issues, and that he has made only limited appearances so far this season.
The update gives Tottenham a possible boost in attack after a slow league start, but it does not confirm which of the two matches, if either, will mark his return to the starting line-up.
What remains unconfirmed
- It is not confirmed which match, if either, will be Solanke’s first start back.
- It is not confirmed that Solanke will definitely be in the starting XI.
- No official club statement is cited on his availability.
