Dominic Solanke is set to miss Tottenham's trip to face Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.

The Spurs forward has been out for more than a month with an ankle injury, having not featured since the win over Manchester City earlier in the season.

It has been slow progress since then for Solanke, who briefly returned to training last week but was not deemed ready to continue with that.

He therefore sat out Spurs' draw with Wolves on Saturday and Solanke was then not with the first-team squad for training on Monday morning.

That suggests he will not feature in Norway on Tuesday night when Spurs face Bodo/Glimt in their second Champions League match.

Speaking on Friday, Frank insisted it was not a "big" injury and that it was not ligament damage, but admitted Spurs had struggled to get to the bottom of the problem.

"I think sometimes let’s say you’ve got a calf strain or a hamstring or even an ACL, very simple, very easy," Frank said.

"Sometimes it’s just a little more tricky. So this is a little more tricky without being a problem."

Randal Kolo Muani also sat out training to leave him as a major doubt for midweek action.

The Frenchman is still yet to start for Spurs since arriving on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, having suffered a dead leg in training over a week ago when colliding with Pape Matar Sarr.

"It is one of those where sometimes they can take a week or other times they can take a couple of weeks because it's started to bleed again unfortunately," Frank said on Friday.

In more positive news for Spurs, Ben Davies and Kota Takai both took part in training on Monday as they return from injury issues of their own.

Takai cannot feature against Bodo/Glimt as he was not included in the club’s Champions League squad for the league phase of the competition.

Yves Bissouma was also left out of the squad but like Takai he trained with the first team before they travel to Norway later in the day.
