Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank said on Monday that striker Dominic Solanke will miss the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 against the Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt after ankle operation, while defender Cristian Romero is also excluded.

Frank said that Solanke suffered from an ankle problem that eventually needed a small surgical procedure.

«He is not ready. We will have more news about the time frame after the international break, but I don’t expect it to be long,» the Danish coach told reporters.

Romero, who was absent in the training earlier in the day, will also miss the game, with Frank said that it was «just a precautionary measure».

The Spurs -Baas also outlined the approach of his team prior to the trip and explained that tactical considerations on Bodo’s Plastic Pitch dictated the schedule.

«We have one training and we want to be tactical … The surface here is different and we have to get used to it. We are ready for the challenge,» he added.

Spurs defeated Bodo in the semi -final of last season on his way to winning the trophy, but Frank praised the Norwegian club about his growth in European competition.

«They are fantastic. Their story is unique … building a smaller club in a force in Norway and now competing in Europe, that is impressive,» he said.
