‘Really exciting’ Tottenham player is closing in on return from injury

Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is reportedly edging closer to a return from a long-term injury.

The Spurs summer signing has been sidelined since the start of October after suffering a meniscus injury to his right knee in training.

Solomon required surgery for his injury, and has missed out on over three months of football for Spurs.

The Evening Standard reports that the 24-year-old hopes to return to Tottenham’s first-team practise the following week.

According to reports, Solomon hopes to play again in the FA Cup fourth-round matchup with Manchester City at the end of the month.

The imminent return of the Israel international to play is a huge plus for Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

Son Heung-min, who is representing South Korea at the Asian Cup, is not available for the Tottenham manager at the moment.

Ivan Perisic, meanwhile, is still injured and isn’t anticipated to play for the Spurs before his contract expires.

Manor Solomon quickly won over new Tottenham teammates

Solomon joined Spurs on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer. He made six appearances, including three starts, before his injury.

The 24-year-old didn’t take long to impress his new teammates and coaches at Hotspur Way.

“He’s already fitting into the squad,” Postecoglou told football.london during pre-season. “He is another one who is really exciting.

“His skill and his performance in training have definitely won over his teammates.” He’s another member of that group and an outstanding young player.

Solomon’s ailment has unfortunately limited our time with him, but it will be interesting to watch how he performs when he returns.

Solomon missed the first part of the previous season while on loan at Fulham due to a knee injury, but he made an impression in the second half.

With 2024 quickly approaching and the player getting back to full health, let’s hope that will be the case.
