AliousIf you think things can’t get worse, try being a Tottenham Hotspur supporter right now. According to a fresh report from the Telegraph’s Matt Law, striker Dominic Solanke—who was forced off during the weekend win over Wolves—may have suffered a Grade 2 hamstring tear. If confirmed, it could rule him out for the remainder of the season.
It’s the kind of update that perfectly sums up Spurs’ campaign—another setback in a season already overflowing with them.
The injury list is now piling up at an alarming rate. By current estimates, there are around 10 first-team players sidelined, with four injuries coming in just the last two matches. Xavi Simons joined Solanke on the treatment table after the Wolves game, while Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were both ruled out the week before.
Elsewhere, Guglielmo Vicario continues his recovery from surgery, Pape Matar Sarr is dealing with a muscle problem, and players like Ben Davies, Mohammed Kudus, and Wilson Odobert could all miss the rest of the campaign. That’s without even factoring in James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who have both endured lengthy absences.
At this stage, the situation feels almost surreal. Spurs’ season has been defined by a relentless run of injuries, and it’s beginning to take a serious toll on their performances and league position—raising real concerns about what lies ahead.
While some theories have been thrown around to explain the crisis, the reality may be far less dramatic. A demanding schedule combined with limited squad depth can easily create a cycle: fewer available players means heavier workloads for those fit, increasing the risk of further injuries. Add a significant dose of misfortune, and the result is exactly what Tottenham are experiencing now.
For now, the club has yet to officially confirm the severity of Solanke’s injury. But given how this season has unfolded, optimism among supporters is understandably in short supply.
