Yahoo Sports Tottenham injury update: Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma latest news and return dates
Tottenham fell deeper into crisis over the course of the weekend.
A nightmare run for Ange Postecoglou continued on Sunday as his Spurs side fell to a dreadful 3-2 defeat away at a struggling Everton.
Spurs have now won just once in 10 Premier League games, their only victory coming against lowly Southampton.
They face another busy week too. Postecoglou’s side travel to Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday before hosting Leicester on Sunday.
While there may be deeper issues at play to explain such a poor run of form, the injury crisis at Spurs cannot be ignored.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injuries.
Dominic Solanke
Star striker Dominic Solanke missed the Everton game after suffering a knee injury in training.
Speaking after the game, Postecoglou revealed Solanke was facing a “few weeks” out of action.
“He just sort of went to shoot on his own and sort of twisted it, so we don't think it's serious, but probably a few weeks at this stage from what I've heard,” revealed the Spurs boss.
Potential return date: Unknown
Brennan Johnson
Fellow forward Brennan Johnson was another to have missed the Toffees defeat, having suffered a strain during the north London derby defeat to Arsenal earlier this month.
“He did it in the second half against Arsenal the other night. So yeah, we're looking at three to four weeks,” added Postecoglou.
Potential return date: Unknown
Yves Bissouma
Key midfielder Yves Bissouma sat out of Sunday’s game, though Postecoglou revealed the Mali international could return for the Leicester game next weekend.
“Biss was a knock, we're hoping that he should be right by next weekend,” he said.
Potential return date: Sunday 26 January 2025 vs Leicester
Rodrigo Bentancur
While Rodrigo Bentancur assured Spurs fans he was “all good” after coming off against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg against Liverpool, the midfielder still has to go through concussions protocols.
Potential return date: January/February 2025
Fraser Forster
Back-up goalkeeper Fraser Forster has surely lost his place to new signing Antonin Kinsky but is now back in training after illness.

Potential return date: January/February 2025

Fellow first-choice defender Cristian Romero is out with a quad injury having previously struggled with a foot problem.
Like Van de Ven, Romero is expected to return at the “back end of January.”
