BREAKING: Thomas Frank issues Dominic Solanke injury update as Tottenham surgery decision made

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has confirmed that Dominic Solanke has undergone minor surgery on the ankle injury that has plagued him since pre-season. The England international has not featured for Spurs since before the September international break, despite returning to training at Hotspur Way.

In the updates following his absence from the squad to face his former club Bournemouth a number of weeks ago, Frank had revealed he was getting closer to a return. However, he recently revealed that Solanke was still dealing with some pain in the area.

With that in mind, it is perhaps no surprise the manager has confirmed that Solanke has been forced to undergo a 'minor' procedure.

"Dom we know got that ankle issue that's been bothering him for a little while. Decided to have minor surgery. Small procedure. More news about time frame after the international break," he admitted in a press conference on Monday.
