Thomas Frank provides Dominic Solanke injury update after Tottenham striker misses win over Arsenal
The Tottenham striker was again left out of the squad as his team-mates beat Arsenal 1-0 in Hong Kong, having not trained in an open session at the stadium earlier this week.
Spurs face Newcastle on Sunday in Seoul before they take on Bayern Munich in Germany on August 7. Six days later Frank's side go up up against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup.
Speaking after the victory over north London rivals Arsenal, Frank provided a positive injury update on Solanke.
'He's close, if not for Sunday then he should be fit to play against Bayern,' the Spurs boss said.
That will be welcome news for Frank, who has been without Solanke since the opening pre-season match against Reading with what was described as a 'minor' injury.
Spurs now fly to South Korea where they can expect huge support as a result of Heung-min Son's presence.
Frank paid tribute to the number of Spurs fans who have turned up on the tour so far, admitting it had made clear to him the size of the job he has taken on.
'I think I had a good idea but you don't really know until you step into it and I think seeing how important it is for the fans,' he said.
'The fans have been waiting every day for us, every morning and evening, and the fans that came to open training and were at the game.
'You understand more and more, first and foremost how big a club Spurs is and the importance of the club.'

Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement
Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement originally appeared on The Sporting News Second-year wide receiver Anthony Gould may not be the biggest name on the Colts offense, but he hasn't been deterred. The Oregon State product had an uneventful rookie year. He made just one 23-yard catch on offense and had a role as a special teams return man, returning a total of 17 kicks and punts over eight appearances. This offseason, Gould has taken a step up. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter sees his hard work paying off. 'He put in a really good offseason of work, and it's showing here at camp,' Cooter said after Sunday's practice. 'He's playing really good ball right now…he's absolutely gotten better.' Gould has been a frequent target for both Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones as a quick-hitting, over the middle connection for easy yards. That role is typically occupied by Josh Downs, but Gould has a similar skillset. Gould is listed a place behind Downs on the Colts first unofficial depth chart, the same position he was slotted into on last season's first depth chart. He's also listed as the primary kick and punt returner, a decision backed up by multiple reports of him fielding kicks at Grand Park. There's no telling how much of an impact Gould can have offensively in a crowded passing game, but the skillset and versatility is there to become a valuable asset in Indianapolis.

Taremi joins Beltran in rejection of Flamengo transfer
According to Sky Sport Italia, it was not just Lucas Beltran who turned down a Flamengo transfer, but Inter striker Mehdi Taremi also rejected the move. As Football Italia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà already confirmed today, the pressure on Fiorentina striker Beltran proved futile, as he has no intention of leaving Europe for a return to South America so soon into this stage of his career. The Viola had accepted the proposal worth €15m plus add-ons, but the player was unimpressed with the destination. Taremi and Beltran unimpressed with Flamengo epa11945117 Fiorentina's Lucas Beltran celebrates scoring the 2-1 during the UEFA Conference League Round of 16, 1st leg soccer martch between Panathinaikos Athens and Fiorentina, at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, 06 March 2025. EPA-EFE/GEORGIA PANAGOPOULOU It now seems as if he was not the only one to have doubts over a future at Flamengo. Sky Sport Italia claim that the Brazilians made a similar proposal to Inter striker Taremi, but he too is waiting for other alternatives in Europe. The 33-year-old Iran international is not part of Inter's plans for this season, but has a contract to June 2027. There have also been links with Besiktas, Fulham, Botafogo, Leeds United and West Ham United, though nobody seems to have come close to a genuine agreement yet.
