After news of his injury and resulting surgery this week, Tottenham Hotspur’s Manor Solomon has shared a message with fans on social media, and insists he will return ‘stronger than ever’ once he recovers.
It has been a short but sweet start to life with Tottenham for Manor Solomon. Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk on a free transfer this summer, there were high hopes the Israeli winger could provide strong competition in the Spurs forward line.
And that he has, so far. Rotating with the likes of Richarlison and Brennan Johnson, Solomon has featured six times in all competitions for Spurs this season, with two starts and two assists to his name (Transfermarkt).

Unfortunately, Ange Postecoglou will be without the 24-year-old for at least the next two months, after Solomon injured his knee in training this week.
It was reported by The Athletic that Solomon was undergoing surgery on Thursday afternoon to resolve the meniscus issue.
Alasdair Gold did find one silver lining, however, which is that the injury has not affected the same knee that kept Solomon out of action for half of last season (Gold and Guest podcast).
Solomon shares disappointment on social media
Now, Solomon himself has commented on the matter, taking to Twitter to reveal his disappointment at the injury, but vowing to be better than ever when he returns.
He said: “Not an easy one to take for me personally, but I’ve already started my rehabilitation in order to come back as soon as possible and stronger than ever. Thank you all for your support, looking forward to seeing you soon on the pitch.”

We wish Manor Solomon all the best in his recovery, and hopefully he really can come back stronger than ever later this year. He was looking to be a lively addition to our front line and he will be sorely missed.
