    They likely won’t announce it til KO tomorrow I’d imagine.

    You’ll probably find Ali Gold will post soon though assuming it is true (which I think it is), he never sleeps that guy.

    Surely we are not surprised about Solanke's injury? It's simply not humane to run around the field the way he does every 3 days, plus training on top of that. Ange should have rotated with others like Lankshear.

    Bad squad management yet again.

    Yeah seems inevitable with how he’s been run into the ground and how many games he’s played.

    It’s utterly absurd how anyone at the club could think he could sustain it. They are literally dropping like flies every week and they have the audacity to blame the medical team yet again.

    Makes the decision not to give Lankshear significant mins even more baffling.

    I wonder why Ange was bigging up Richys importance? <doh>

    Bags of injuries at Celtic.
    Bags of injuries last season.
    Bags of injuries this season.

    This isn’t bad luck. This is a systematic issue of poor management and a system that is just excessively demanding.

    With the amount of games Porro’s played, don’t be surprised if he’s next to fall. Kulusevski potentially too.

    Apparently Solanke’s injury is significant and he was in agony. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    The club will have to go out now and get another striker this window. Waiting until the summer could be too late (relegation)

    They won’t. They just won’t.

    They'll now just scrap the plan to loan out Lankshear and go through with Richarlison and him as options.

    If Lankshear wasn’t good enough to get minutes before Solanke’s injury then why would they suddenly deem him good enough now? The room for error is getting smaller and smaller. Spurs are genuinely close to being in a relegation battle, if they don’t think now is the time to buy then when will they?

    The same reason Spence (supposedly) weren’t good enough earlier in the season - the manager won’t give them chances until he absolutely has too.

    Now he’s heavily reliant on Spence after the awful treatment he gave him.

    So now he’ll eventually have to lean on Lankshear because if he tries running Richarlison into the ground as much he has Solanke then Lankshear will be starting for us within two weeks once Richarlison gets another month long injury, lol.

    Let’s hope Lanshear is the second coming of Harry Kane. If not then I genuinely see Spurs struggling to finish higher than 17th.

    What a rotten rotten season.

    Second coming of Defoe/ Keane etc would be just fine, let alone Kane.

    He’ll likely be stupidly rusty though whenever he does play, been like 8 weeks now of no 21s or first team football, all whilst Solanke was ran into the ground, ****ing horrific management.

    Yeah there is something fundamentally wrong. It isn't just the number of players out injured, it's the fact that the problem is so widespread.

    I think Kulusevski, Johnson and Porro are the only players in the normal matchday squad who haven't picked up an injury yet this season.

    I might be completely wrong in my totally layman’s view but I don’t understand how you can get injured doing what I assume is only very light training the day before a game?

    we’re playing every 3 days so surely it’s about rest and recuperation rather than more time on the training pitch!
