On Wednesday, Tottenham faced Manchester City, where, unfortunately, suffered a 0-1 defeat.
This is when supporters truly feel the absence of key players sidelined by injuries, such as Dominic Solanke. Let’s take a look at the latest updates on Spurs' injured players.
Tottenham’s goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, who had been out of action since November, recently returned and released a documentary in which he admitted to undergoing a second secret surgery.
Meanwhile, sports physical therapy specialist Dr Rajpal Brar has spoken about Richarlison’s situation, stating that he believes the forward will not return to training with the squad until next season.
Speaking of strikers, Solanke has dropped a hint on Instagram about a potential return.

Through a post on his Instagram account, Dominic Solanke hinted that he may be close to making a comeback for Tottenham, captioning his post with: 'TICK-TOCK.'
Let’s not forget that the 27-year-old Englishman has been out of action since mid-January after suffering a knee injury during a training session.
On this matter, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou previously stated: "With Dom (Solanke) the information now is around the six-week mark with him," he said. "No surgery, but we're looking at around six weeks. It might be quicker, but we'll see."
Speaking to Football London, the Australian also shared:
"Dom's the only one where we've got to be careful because he's ahead of schedule so I don't want to push that in case we need to pull the reins in a bit but with Romero and Micky that's the plan at this stage."

The manager also admitted that Solanke’s absence has had a noticeable impact on the team.
Now, with the recent addition of Mathys Tel, the club has managed to cover that gap, though it's clear that Tel is still young and lacks the experience that Solanke brings to the squad.
Hopefully, with this small hint dropped on Instagram, the striker is edging closer to rejoining the first team and contributing in the upcoming matches—perhaps even against Bournemouth in two weeks.
