Dominic Solanke’s Ankle Injury Recovery
Speaking ahead of an important UEFA Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, Solanke stated, “All of my injuries have gone away.” This comes after five difficult months during which he struggled with recurring ankle issues. His troubles included undergoing injections and a minor procedure to alleviate the pain.
Returning to Match Fitness
Now, at 28 years old, Solanke has finally managed to participate in back-to-back matches for Spurs—his first starts since May. He reflected on his journey back to health, acknowledging that while he feels physically fit, reaching peak fitness will take time. “It’s always difficult being injured,” he noted, highlighting the emotional strain of watching his team without being able to contribute.
- Injuries have kept Solanke sidelined for much of the season.
- He has started consecutive matches for the first time since last season.
- Solanke believes he can help turn Tottenham’s season around.
Upcoming Match Against Eintracht Frankfurt
Tottenham’s upcoming match in Germany is crucial as they aim for a spot in the Champions League last 16. Currently, the team has faced difficulties in the Premier League, securing only two wins from their first 14 matches. Facing a managerless Frankfurt, who have conceded three goals in each of their last five games, Solanke sees this as an opportunity.
He recalled a notable past performance, where he scored the decisive goal in Frankfurt during the previous season’s Europa League semi-finals. “We’re looking forward to the game more than anything,” Solanke said, emphasizing the team’s desire to reclaim past glory.
With numerous games still on the calendar, Solanke remains optimistic about contributing meaningfully to Tottenham’s campaign this season. “We still believe we can have a good season,” he concluded, focusing on the positives ahead.
