When the teams were announced, Solanke He was not part of the starting or substitute lineup and that raised injury concerns.

However, before the match, Postecoglou confirmed that he had actually been told to return home due to illness.

The Spurs boss said before the 1-1 draw was played: “It came in today and it wasn't the best, because of the weather.

“We sent him home and hopefully he'll make a full recovery and be ready for the next one.”

Now, he has provided another update on Solanke ahead of the next match which will be against Bournemouth tonight.

Yesterday Postecoglou explained: “Dom has to train today, he is still not 100 percent, but he has definitely improved compared to the weekend.”

He then revealed in more detail why the leader was sent home on Sunday, and it was certainly worrying.

“I hope we get that extra percentage to come from him (Solanke) coming back,” he continued.

“He wanted to play on the weekend but he couldn't get out of his car, let alone run around the field.”

So Solanke must have been incredibly ill and it is no surprise that he was told to come home and rest.

The England international will be desperate to be fit to face Bournemouth, who left to join Tottenham in the summer.

He left the Cherries for £65million after spending five years and making more than 200 appearances for the club.

Solanke is likely to see some familiar faces, while he will also want to boost Spurs after they struggled in front of goal against Fulham.

However, if he misses out again, it would be a big blow to his team as he has been an ever-present since joining.

So far this season, Solanke has scored four goals and provided two assists in 10 Premier League games.

Although his role is not limited to just scoring, as he plays a very important role in the preparation of each match.

Captain Son Heung-min He started up front against Fulham, with Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson in the sides.

If Solanke returns, Werner is likely to return to the bench and Son will move to the left, where he is more comfortable.
