Dominic Solanke has been ruled out of Tottenham's clash with Everton on Saturday due to an ankle injury, manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed.
Dominic Solanke made his Spurs debut in their 1-1 draw against Leicester on Monday after arriving from Bournemouth in a deal worth £65million.
But he picked up a knock in the game that has forced him to delay his first home game in front of his new fans. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou said: "Dom picked up a knock in the last game. "He got through the game but it flared up the day after. He’ll miss tomorrow [Everton]. "It's an ankle injury. He copped it fairly early on when someone went over his ankle."
Solanke played the full game against Leicester on Monday but now looks set to be replaced in the side by Richarlison. The Brazilian started the Leicester game on the bench but came on for the final few minutes as Tottenham searched for a winner.
"Richy has trained for two weeks. He's ready to go. Obviously hasn't played for quite a while which you've got to [take into account] but he's available and ready to go," Postecoglou said when asked about Richarlison by football.london.
In other team news, Pedro Porro is fine after limping off against the Foxes while Yves Bissouma will also return to the squad. Wilson Odobert will also be available for selection.
Rodrigo Bentancur will miss out through concussion protocol but would have anyway after such a head injury.
"Absolutely not. Irrespective of concussion protocols, any head injury we are always going to be more conservative," he said. "Good thing is he has bounced back really well. He has done all the tests and he feels good. We will take our time with Rodrigo and make sure he is absolutely 100 per cent before we put him out there again."
