Roberto De Zerbi reveals Dominic Solanke injury latest in new three-man Tottenham update | OneFootball

Spurs to remain without two key players against Aston Villa

Roberto De Zerbi has said Dominic Solanke will be absent for Tottenham’s trip to Aston Villa this Sunday.

The 28-year-old went down off the ball and received treatment on the pitch before being replaced by Richarlison in the 40th minute.

Reports this week then suggested that Solanke had suffered a grade 2 hamstring injury and would miss the remainder of the season.

Guglielmo Vicario is still not available after missing the last three games following hernia surgery.

De Zerbi had said he expected Vicario to be back in training at the start of this week but he confirmed some bad about the Italian shot-stopper.

“He is not available,” said the Spurs head coach.

Destiny Udogie also missed the win over Wolves with a muscular injury, but will be fit as Spurs travel to Champions League-chasing Villa.

Spurs’ injury woes have only increased since De Zerbi took charge, with the club confirming that Xavi Simons had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Wolves.

Simons, who was stretchered off the pitch at Molineux following a coming together with Wolves defender Hugo Bueno, will now miss the remainder of the season as well as this summer’s World Cup.

Spurs remain rooted in the Premier League relegation zone and are two points from safety with four games left to play this season.
