Tottenham's Dominic Solanke to train ahead of Bournemouth trip but 'still not 100 per cent'

Dominic Solanke is set to train ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Bournemouth on Thursday but Ange Postecoglou says the striker is “still not 100 per cent”.

The 27-year-old missed Sunday’s draw with Fulham due to illness, and Postecoglou says he is making progress.

Spurs will continue to be without defender Cristian Romero due to a foot injury which has sidelined him for his side’s last three matches.

“Everyone from the weekend got through okay,” Postecoglou said. “Archie (Gray) got a bit of a knock but he has recovered well.

“Dom is due to train today so he is still not 100 per cent but he has definitely improved from the weekend. The other injured guys are inching closer but not available.”

Solanke was sent home the morning of the Fulham match following illness, with Son Heung-min leading the line in his absence, as Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw.

The £65million summer signing from Bournemouth has scored six goals in 17 appearances in all competitions.

Following Thursday’s trip to Bournemouth, Spurs face Chelsea on Sunday.
