I don’t know how to quite break this to all of you. You know that injury crisis that Spurs have been working through for the past several months? Well, it’s gotten worse. Multiple reports, including Sami Mockbel at the Daily Mail, are now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has sustained a knee injury in training and has been ruled out for the Everton match tomorrow… and possibly much more.
Dominic Solanke set to miss key clash versus Everton with muscular injury. Could miss more games depending on severity of the issue but no confirmation on recovery time. Blow to Ange Postecoglou, who will provide an update on Sunday. https://t.co/q5TMrOMbD4

Mokbel’s report is cautious and doesn’t really go into specifics of the injury or how long Big Dom might be out, but there are other, uh, less reputable sources that are suggesting he could miss “at least six weeks.” Mokbel says Ange Postecoglou will provide an update tomorrow before the match.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
On the one hand, we probably should’ve seen this coming. Dom’s played 2200 minutes ALREADY this season in all competitions, and it’s only January 18. We’ve been riding him into the ground because we kind of had to — there wasn’t really anyone else available. On the other hand, this royally sucks blue whale (the largest animal to exist on planet Earth).
It’s a good thing Richarlison is back from his injury, as he’s instantly elevated to starting striker, beginning tomorrow. I also now wonder whether this means that the proposed loan for Will Lankshear will be scrapped.
God. This season needs a hard reset.
