OFFICIAL TOTTENHAM INJURY REPORT—DOMINIC SOLANKE AND KULUSEVSKI TARGET EARLY JANUARY RETURN DATES
Dominic Solanke is finally nearing a Tottenham return! Thomas Frank confirms the striker targets a January comeback.
Tottenham Injury News: Dominic Solanke's Possible Return Could Be a January Positive
Tottenham is still facing player availability issues as they head into the busy winter season, but there's some hope coming from within the club. Even though suspensions and long-term injuries are still limiting Thomas Frank's choices, the injury update on Dominic Solanke is a welcome bit of good news as Spurs try to steady their season.
Things aren't perfect by any means. But with January getting closer and several players getting closer to coming back, Tottenham's treatment room is starting to look a little less packed. People inside the club are keeping a close eye on Solanke's progress.
Dominic Solanke's Recovery Is Picking Up
Dominic Solanke's absence has been a quiet but important part of Tottenham's injury problems this season. The striker hasn't played since the end of August because of a nagging ankle issue that needed surgery in October.
There were worries within the club that his recovery was taking longer than expected, but recent progress has eased those concerns. Solanke has increased his rehab work and is now making good progress. Club staff are happy with how his body has responded in recent weeks.
Frank has said that Solanke is getting closer to being included in the game-day squad. They won't take any unnecessary risks, but it seems like his return is expected if everything goes well in training.
A January comeback is looking more and more likely, which would give Tottenham a much-needed attacking option during a busy run of games. Spurs have missed Solanke's mobility and work ethic, especially when rotation has been limited.
Broader Tottenham Injury Situation
Solanke's progress is happening within a larger injury situation that is still difficult for Tottenham. Destiny Udogie is out with a hamstring injury and isn't expected back until January, which limits options at full-back during a demanding holiday stretch.
Dejan Kulusevski is another player who is close to returning. The Swedish player has been recovering from a knee injury that he suffered late last season and is back on the field. Early hopes for a return have faded; there's still hope that he could play early in the new year if training is managed carefully.
Kota Takai is still working his way back after being involved very little since joining in the summer. His path seems slower, with playing time coming at the development level rather than immediately with the first team.
James Maddison is still out long-term after a bad knee injury in pre-season. His recovery is being handled carefully, and he's expected to return closer to the start of the 2026 season rather than this season.
January Plans Affected by Fitness Updates
Tottenham's injury updates will shape their January plans. The club knows that returning players like Solanke and Kulusevski might make it less urgent to bring in short-term players, especially in the attack.
But availability is now more important than reputation when planning the squad. Spurs have lost points in games where tiredness and limited rotation were obvious, highlighting the importance of getting players back on the field rather than just having big names on the team.
Solanke's return would add depth and tactical versatility. He can lead the line, connect play, and press from the front, which is what Frank wants from his attacking players. That makes his recovery just as important as any possible January signing.
Tottenham's Outlook Heading into the New Year
Tottenham's season is still uncertain. Suspensions have made things difficult in recent weeks, but injury news is slowly improving. The club isn't rushing players back, keeping in mind the long-term risks, but it's believed that January will be much better in terms of squad availability.
Solanke is key to that hope. His rehab has reached a point where time frames are clearer, confidence is higher, and planning can be more precise. If he returns as expected, Tottenham will get a forward who is reliable as well as talented, which has been lacking.
For now, the Spurs are carefully managing playing time and workloads. But with Solanke's return getting closer and others following behind him, Tottenham might finally be entering a period where injuries help them rather than hurt them.
ANTOINE SEMENYO CHRISTMAS EVE UPDATE REVEALS ADVANCED TALKS BETWEEN MAN CITY AND BOURNEMOUTH
Antoine Semenyo chooses Manchester City in a 65 million pound move that could send Savinho to Tottenham this January.
Word is, Antoine Semenyo might go to Man City, and that could shake things up for Tottenham and Aston Villa, maybe helping them get the players they want.
David Ornstein from The Athletic said that Semenyo wants to join Man City this January; he has a £65m release clause.
Fabrizio Romano, who knows a lot about transfers, said Man City is trying to wrap up the deal after speeding things up this week.
Romano tweeted that Man City is getting closer to signing Antoine Semenyo soon. The city pushed hard in the last day or so to get talks moving. Semenyo likes Man City the best, even though Man United tried hard, and Chelsea and Spurs are out of the running.
Romano mentioned later that Man City and Bournemouth would talk this week about Antoine Semenyo. The £65m release clause is good until January 10, but Man City will talk to Bournemouth about other ways to structure the deal and payments. Semenyo would rather play for Man City.
If Semenyo goes to Man City, Tottenham might still try to sign Savinho from City, and Aston Villa really wants Brennan Johnson from Spurs.
Man City thought Savinho was worth £61m this summer, but he might not get much playing time if Semenyo comes. Dean Jones told TEAMtalk that Savinho was interested in going to Spurs this summer.
Jones said that Savinho played for 20 minutes against West Ham, but lately, that's about the best he can hope for in the league.
He added that if City signs Semenyo, he thinks Savinho's spot in the team is questionable.
It'll be a tough call because they just gave him a new contract.
Tottenham was interested in him, and he seemed interested because he would be a really good player for them.
The city also has to decide what to do with Oscar Bobb if it gets offers.
But he does think Spurs are still interested in Savinho if they can't get other players like Semenyo, Maghnes Akliouche, and Yan Diomande.
If Tottenham gets Savinho or another winger, then Aston Villa might be able to get Johnson.
TEAMtalk says Aston Villa wants Johnson to add speed and the ability to play different roles to their attack. Harvey Elliott's loan move from Liverpool didn't go well, so it will stop.
Tottenham is okay with selling Johnson permanently or loaning him out. Sources told TEAMtalk that Spurs want £30m-£40m for him.
THE SECRET TEXT MESSAGE MICKY VAN DE VEN SENT TO INJURED ALEXANDER ISAK
Thomas Frank defends Micky van de Ven as Arne Slot fumes over the challenge that left Isak with a broken leg today.
Tottenham's Micky van de Ven said he apologised to Liverpool's Alexander Isak after accidentally hurting him during their game. Isak is out for a while after getting surgery on his leg, which he broke during Liverpool's 2-1 win at Tottenham.
Isak got hurt at Tottenham.
Isak, who came on for Conor Bradley at halftime, scored for Liverpool about ten minutes later. Later, Hugo Ekitike made it 2-0.
Richarlison scored late for Tottenham, but Liverpool won. Sadly, Isak got seriously hurt while scoring.
When Isak shot, Van de Ven tried to block it. He couldn't stop the shot, and Isak's leg got twisted, forcing him off the field.
Van de Ven said he messaged Isak after the game to say sorry and wish him well.
Van de Ven: I didn’t want to hurt him.
Van de Ven told Sky Sports, “I texted him because I didn’t want to injure him.” I was just trying to block the shot. His foot landed awkwardly. I texted him afterwards and wished him all the best. I hope he's back soon. He replied and appreciated the message.
Liverpool's coach, Arne Slot, wasn't happy with Van de Ven's tackle, calling it 'reckless.' Isak had surgery on his ankle, and Slot is sure he'll be back this season, but he's upset about the situation.
Slot said, It was reckless. The tackle of Xavi Simons was unintentional. But Van de Ven's tackle? There’s a good chance of a player getting hurt. It’s a long injury, which is disappointing for him and us.
Frank defends Van de Ven.
Tottenham's boss, Thomas Frank, disagreed with Slot, saying any defender would try to block a shot like that.
Frank said, I don't agree. Van de Ven was trying to stop the goal. He was sprinting back and slid to block the shot. Isak's foot was planted there, making it look worse. Any defender would do that.
If my defender didn't do that, I wouldn't think they were a real defender. He's fair and competitive. Also, the players sorted it out, which is good.
Frank needs to improve things.
Tottenham's boss, Frank, hopes to win again when they play Crystal Palace this weekend. He might be the next Premier League manager to leave after only winning one of their last eight games.
After losing to Liverpool, they're 14th in the league, nine points above the drop zone. Frank needs to turn things around.
