Tottenham injury news and return dates for Everton: Solanke, Bentancur latest

Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League opener against Everton.

Aiming to get off the mark for the 2024-25 Premier League campaign at the second attempt, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Everton to North London on Saturday afternoon.

Ange Postecoglou's men appeared to be cruising to victory at Leicester City on Monday night, only for the newly-promoted outfit to strike back in the second half to earn a 1-1 draw.

Jamie Vardy proved to be the thorn in Tottenham's side again at the King Power, although the result was overshadowed by a nasty head injury to one of Postecoglou's fulcrums.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Everton, who were humbled 3-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion on matchday one.


Dominic Solanke

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Postecoglou revealed in Friday's pre-game press conference that £65m man Dominic Solanke had sustained a knock to the ankle in the draw with Leicester, which will rule him out of this game, and he is fighting to return before the international break.


Rodrigo Bentancur

Status: Out
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: September 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Monday's match was stopped for several minutes after Rodrigo Bentancur came off worse in a clash of heads with Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu - the Spurs midfielder appeared to have been knocked out cold in the incident but was eventually able to sit up before being stretchered off.

Postecoglou confirmed afterwards that the South American was "conscious and communicating", but even if he has not sustained anything more serious than a mild concussion, there is no chance he will be able to play this weekend.


Fraser Forster

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: August 24 (vs. Everton)

Backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster has now spent over half a year out with a foot problem that was only supposed to keep him out for around two months at first, but he is training with the group and might be available here.


TOTTENHAM'S SUSPENSION LIST

Postecoglou banned Yves Bissouma for the Leicester draw after the midfielder filmed himself inhaling laughing gas, but the Mali international is expected to return on Saturday, especially with Bentancur guaranteed to miss out.
