Tottenham’s De Zerbi provides injury update on Solanke, Simons


Tottenham Hotspur will assess the fitness of Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons after both were forced off in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, a blow to manager Roberto De Zerbi for his relegation in the side battle.

Solanke was substituted in the 40th minute due to a muscle problem, while Simons was replaced in the 63rd minute after suffering a knee problem. ⁠Despite the setbacks, Joao Palhinha’s 82nd minute winner secured Tottenham’s first league win in 16 games at ‌Molineux. Spurs remained 18th in the standings with 34 points from 34 games, two points clear of safety.

«Solanke has a muscle injury. I don’t know what level of injury, and for Xavi it ​​is a knee problem, and we will see in the coming days, Monday or Tuesday,» De Zerbi told reporters.

«For Solanke it is not a big problem. I don’t know how many games we will lose him, but I would like to know the real situation of Xavi because the knee is always different from the muscle injury.»

Tottenham, facing the prospect of their first relegation from top-flight football since 1977, have four games remaining and then travel to Aston Villa on Sunday.
