Tottenham's injury woes continue to mount ahead of Sunday's crucial clash against Aston Villa, with manager Roberto De Zerbi confirming that Dominic Solanke will miss the match due to a hamstring injury sustained in last weekend's win over Wolves. The setback marks another frustrating chapter for the striker, who has struggled to maintain fitness throughout the season.
Solanke was forced off during the victory against the already-relegated side, adding to a growing list of absentees for Spurs. The news comes as a significant blow to De Zerbi's attacking options, especially with the team pushing for a strong finish to the campaign.
In a further setback, Xavi Simons also suffered a serious knee injury in the same match, ruling him out for an extended period. The double blow has left the Spurs squad thin on the ground as they prepare to face an in-form Aston Villa side.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains sidelined following hernia surgery, meaning Antonin Kinsky will continue between the posts. However, there is some positive news on the horizon: left-back Destiny Udogie could make his return to action after recovering from his own hamstring issue.
James Maddison is also edging closer to a comeback. The creative midfielder has been on the bench in recent weeks but has yet to feature since suffering a knee injury last summer. De Zerbi remains optimistic that Maddison will see some game time before the season concludes, offering a glimmer of hope for Spurs fans eager to see their playmaker back in action.
As the team navigates this injury crisis, every match becomes a test of depth and resilience—qualities that will be vital against a Villa side looking to solidify their European ambitions.
