Spurs striker Solanke has ‘minor surgery’ on ankle

Dominic Solanke, a Tottenham player, has undergone “minor surgery” to heal a broken ankle.

Solanke, who last played for Spurs against Manchester City on August 23, was absent from training again on Monday in preparation for the Champions League game against Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday.

Spurs manager Thomas Frank stated at a press conference that “Dom has been having a minor surgery because we’ve decided to make a minor operation.”

Because it is a small procedure, it will mean that he won’t be ready for both Bodo/Glimt and, of course, Leeds on Saturday. After the international break, we’ll hear more about a time frame, but I don’t anticipate it to take very long.

The 28-year-old England striker had an ankle issue that he had to deal with for the majority of the pre-season, but it appeared to have been fixed by the start of August when he started playing against Paris St-Germain, Burnley, and Manchester City.

When Frank was questioned about whether the club could have had surgery sooner, he replied, “No, I think you can look at it in two ways. The answer is simple, but it’s not that simple because we probably would have had to have had the surgery a month earlier.

For me, “it is what it is” always means. We now handle it, and we must admit that our decision was made because we believed it to be the best course of action. No one wants surgery in general.
