Tottenham suffer ANOTHER injury scare as star man limps off in his first game back after six weeks out

Dominic Solanke has given Tottenham fans another injury scare after footage showcased the player limping off after a disappointing night in the Netherlands.

Ange Postecoglou‘s men suffered a nightmare matchday against AZ Alkmaar away, concluding it with a 1-0 defeat following Lucas Bergvall’s own goal in the 18th minute.

The Swedish midfielder attempted to clear the ball out of the Spurs’ box, following a corner kick from Peer Koopmeiners but instead saw his touch give the lead to his opponents.

Tottenham then fell short of keeping control of the game as they were clearly dominated by the Dutch team, which ended up with 12 shots in total and five on target.

However, Postecoglou’s side’s night only got worse as footage from the match showed Solanke hobbling towards the stadium’s tunnel with the help of the team’s staff.

It comes after the striker returned to the pitch for the first time since his knee injury picked up in mid-January.

The English striker appeared to have sustained a knock and needed medical assistance before being substituted

Solanke was forced to miss 45 days and 10 games, in which Tottenham managed to get five wins and five defeats.

His recent setback marks his third injury of the season, following ankle issues he experienced in August and September, as well as an illness he suffered before the game against Fulham in December.

The English striker scored 11 goals and added six assists in 29 games for Tottenham this campaign.

He came on as a substitute in the second half of the clash against AZ Alkmaar, yet failed to deliver a strong performance and was forced off in the 92nd minute.

Due to Solanke’s physical problems, newcomer Matthys Tel appeared in the starting line-up but was later replaced by Wilson Odobert.

Postecoglou’s side suffered their eighth loss in 2025, in a disappointing season both on domestic and international levels.

While they were knocked out of the FA Cup and Carabao cup, Spurs sit in 13th place in the Premier League table with just 33 points.

A potential blow by Solanke’s injury confirmation would deepen Tottenham’s crisis, as they are currently missing Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, and Richarlison.
