Ange Postecoglou is facing a striker headache against Everton on Saturday after Tottenham’s club-record signing, Dominic Solanke, was ruled out with an ankle injury picked up on debut.
Solanke played the entirety of the 1-1 draw against Leicester on Monday night but is now battling to return before September’s international break. Having struggled with injuries throughout the summer, Richarlison missed the whole of pre-season and only came off the bench for one minute against Leicester. Postecoglou confirmed the Brazilian is fit to start on Saturday but would not be able to last 90 minutes, presenting the manager with the dilemma of whether to instead opt for Dejan Kulusevksi or Son Heung-min in his team’s central striking role.
