Dominic Solanke eased concerns about a potential injury after limping off late in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday. The 28-year-old striker reassured fans and manager Thomas Frank that the issue was minor, allaying fears of a serious setback.

Solanke, who scored twice in the match to secure a valuable point for his team, was seen walking gingerly in the closing stages of the game. This immediately sparked concerns, given his recent return from a five-month ankle injury.

When questioned after the game, Solanke addressed the worries, stating, "Yeah, I should be all good. Rolled my ankle a little bit but should be fine". His words brought a collective sigh of relief to Tottenham supporters, who have witnessed Solanke's significant impact since his return to the squad.

Manager Thomas Frank acknowledged that Solanke is still working his way back to full fitness. "He clearly struggled to run fitness wise," Frank commented. "We knew before the game it would be a big push to play 90. He's not there fitness wise where he should be because he's been out for so long and we've, in a way, been a little bit forced to play him". Despite this, Frank lauded Solanke's contribution, emphasizing his importance to the team. "I think it's pretty evident that he's relatively important for us. Four goals in four games with him being at 70% or 80% of fitness," he added.

Solanke's performance against Manchester City was particularly noteworthy, as he scored both goals in Tottenham's comeback from a 2-0 deficit. His second goal, a stunning scorpion kick, has been widely praised and hailed as a potential goal of the season contender. According to FotMob, Solanke earned man of the match with a rating of 8.8.

The draw against Manchester City highlighted both Solanke's importance to Tottenham and the team's resilience. Despite a difficult first half, Tottenham showed fight and determination to secure a point against a strong City side. The team will be hoping that Solanke's injury is indeed as minor as he suggests, as they prepare for a challenging run of fixtures, including a visit to Manchester United next Saturday. Cristian Romero was also forced off in the draw due to illness, and Micky van de Ven missed the game through injury. Frank hopes that Van de Ven will be available for the match against Manchester United.
