WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DURING DOMINIC SOLANKE’S SECRET MINOR ANKLE OPERATION?
Thomas Frank confirms Dominic Solanke won't face Bournemouth. With Kudus injured and Johnson gone, Spurs face a major striker crisis.
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank says Dominic Solanke won’t be ready for Wednesday’s game at Bournemouth. Solanke still needs time to get back to his best.
The last time Solanke played for Spurs was August 23, away at Manchester City. That ankle injury has really held him back—he’s only managed three appearances so far this season.
He had a minor operation on October 1, and Tottenham has taken it slow with his recovery. Solanke finally got back to training last week, but Frank made it clear the 28-year-old won’t be facing his old club just yet.
“Nope, he will not, but positive going forward,” Frank said when someone asked if Solanke would make the trip.
Frank saw some good things from Solanke in training—composed on the ball, making sharp decisions, nice touches. But when things got a bit more intense, Solanke looked rusty. That’s not a shock, though. The guy’s been out for over six months. Of course, he needs time.
Frank added, even if Solanke’s ready to return soon, people shouldn’t expect him to hit top form right away. Almost no one does after being out that long.
With Solanke still sidelined and last season’s top scorer, Brennan Johnson, gone to Crystal Palace as of Friday, Spurs are pretty light up front.
Mohammed Kudus probably won’t make it either after picking up a left leg injury early in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland. “He’s going for a scan. Yeah, most likely ruled out for Bournemouth,” Frank said.
There’s some good news, at least—Destiny Udogie is back in training after his hamstring problem and might be available. Captain Cristian Romero will play, even though the club didn’t appeal the FA’s charge about his conduct after getting sent off against Liverpool on December 20.
The FA says Romero acted improperly, didn’t leave the pitch quickly, and got in the ref’s face after that red card. Spurs responded to the charge and accepted it. As for whether Romero might get banned, Frank shrugged it off: “I honestly don’t know. He’s available for Bournemouth. That’s the game ahead for me.”
SALAH REPLACEMENT FOUND? JARROD BOWEN TIPPED TO SNUB REAL MADRID'S RODRYGO FOR LIVERPOOL
Is Mo Salah leaving? Andy Townsend backs Jarrod Bowen to replace the legend at Liverpool over Real Madrid’s unsettled Rodrygo.
Andy Townsend thinks West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen would be a way better pick to replace Mohamed Salah than Rodrygo from Real Madrid, and he’s sure Bowen would jump at the chance. Last year, Liverpool looked at Rodrygo after Luis Díaz left for Bayern Munich. Arsenal and Man City showed interest, too.
For a while, it seemed Rodrygo might land in the Premier League. He wasn’t getting much time on the pitch with Xabi Alonso in charge at Real. But after the summer window closed, Rodrygo made it clear he wanted to stick around in Madrid.
Still, Townsend sees Bowen as the more realistic option. With Salah possibly nearing the end of his Liverpool run, Arne Slot is already shaping a squad that can chase trophies in the coming years.
Talking to BOYLE Sports, Townsend put it simply: “Who can Liverpool bring in to take Salah’s place next season? I think Jarrod Bowen would do very well for Liverpool.
“I don’t really get the Rodrygo rumours. Sure, if you play for Real Madrid, you’ve got serious talent, but I’ve never seen him as a Galactico.
“Bowen would absolutely go to Liverpool and be a real danger for them on the right. They’d have Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, and Jarrod Bowen.
“They give you pace, energy, goals, and a real end product. That’s a front line with everything you want.
Liverpool has to look at Bowen because, honestly, I can’t see Salah staying past this summer. Whatever’s going on at Anfield, it’s knocked some of the wind out of Mo’s sails.
“Maybe it’s a relationship thing; maybe it’s just age. Whatever it is, he’s not going to keep up those numbers forever.
“It looks like Mo’s running out of steam, and there’s no shame in that. It’s football. It happens.
“His best days are behind him, and they need to move on.”
Salah’s been Liverpool’s main man for eight seasons straight, always the top scorer, but this year he’s slowed down a bit.
He’s only scored four Premier League goals in 16 games, plus two more in seven Champions League matches. That’s a noticeable drop from what he usually delivers.
Since joining from Roma in June 2017, Salah has racked up 252 goals in 428 games for Liverpool, putting himself among the club’s all-time legends.
TRANSFER BATTLE: VILLA AND LIVERPOOL PLOT SUMMER MOVES FOR TOTTENHAM STAR LUCAS BERGVALL
Lucas Bergvall is the subject of a massive transfer tug-of-war! Discover why Villa and Liverpool are targeting the Spurs star.
Aston Villa are still watching Lucas Bergvall pretty closely and might even try to tempt Tottenham this summer if the chance comes up. Liverpool is lurking, too, ready to make things interesting.
Tottenham’s season has been rough. They brought in Igor Tudor to stop the slide after Thomas Frank’s time in charge fell apart and dragged them towards the bottom of the table.
Villa have liked Bergvall for a while now. They’ve tracked him for some time and even asked about him in January when they missed out on Conor Gallagher. Tottenham wouldn’t let him go, though.
Inside Spurs, people see Bergvall, who’s only 20, as one of their best long-term prospects. They’ve made it clear he’s not for sale. Still, a lot rides on how Tottenham finish the season and who they choose as their next manager. If things stay shaky at the club, other teams might sense an opening.
Villa think they have something to offer: European football, a team that’s clearly on the up, and the chance to be a big part of something. They know prying Bergvall away won’t be easy, but they believe their project could turn his head if Spurs keep struggling.
Liverpool is in the mix, too. They’re tracking young midfielders across Europe, and Bergvall’s on their radar. Their interest could make things even trickier for Villa if Tottenham start to waver.
Tottenham rate Bergvall as one of the best young players around and would slap a big price tag on him to scare off bidders. But after a messy run of results, the club faces more financial pressure, and there’s a feeling that nothing is truly off-limits if a huge offer comes in.
Bergvall has already played 16 times for Spurs this season, scoring once and setting up four more. He’s a Swedish international with six caps, but he hasn’t featured since January because of an ankle injury that needed surgery. He’s expected to be out for another six weeks.
Even with the injury, Villa and Liverpool are undeterred. Both clubs see Bergvall as a top young talent worth chasing.
