Dominic Solanke ruled out of Tottenham’s clash against Everton as fuming fans say ‘fantasy football is so back’

DOMINIC SOLANKE has been ruled out of Tottenham’s clash with Everton on Saturday due to an ankle injury, manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed.

The striker, 26, 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.”

Richarlison could lead the line in Solanke ‘s absence, but Postecoglou may opt to move Son Heung-min into the centre instead.

It is safe to say many fans were furious with the news after selecting him for their fantasy football teams.

One reacted to the news by simply saying: “FPL is so back.”

While another joked: ” Sooooooo…… erm……. wildcard?”

A third replied: “Solanke over Jota already a disaster then.”

And a fourth added: “Prime fantasy football right here .”

Meanwhile, Postecoglou also offered updates on other Tottenham players, confirming Rodrigo Bentancur will miss out after suffering a nasty concussion against Leicester.

However, Pedro Porro has recovered from his knock and Yves Bissouma is back in the fold after the club suspended him from their Premier League opener for filming himself inhaling laughing gas.

On Bentancur, Postecoglou said: “Absolutely not [will he play against Everton].

“Irrespective of concussion protocols, with any kind of head injury we’re always going to be more conservative. We’ll take our time with Rodrigo and make sure he’s 100 per cent.”

He then went on to add: “Biss [Bissouma] is available. We’ve got some options there. The idea of bulking up the squad in pre-season is we have some options.

“He’s available for selection. The bridge-building continues.”
