It is reported that Manor Solomon will undergo surgery later today in an effort to resolve the knee issue he suffered this week.
A new signing at Tottenham this summer, there were high hopes that Manor Solomon could have a real impact in the Spurs attack just like he did at Fulham.
The Israeli attacker has featured fairly regularly under Ange Postecoglou so far this season, albeit not always from the start of games.
With competition from the likes of Richarlison and Brennan Johnson, that is understandable. However, it seems we will have to wait quite some time to see Solomon in action again for the Lilywhites.
It emerged yesterday that Solomon had suffered a torn meniscus and would be facing up to three months on the sidelines (Raz Amir). The injury occurred in training and little was known initially as to the extent of the issue.

Manor Solomon set for surgery on Thursday
Now, we know a lot more about Solomon’s situation and when we can expect him back on the pitch thanks to a new report from The Athletic.
Solomon will undergo surgery on his knee this afternoon (October 5) and will face an “extended period on the sidelines” as a result.
It is said the 23-year-old will now be out of action for “at least a couple of months.”
There are no details as to what time this surgery will take place, but it seems Spurs are moving fast to treat the winger and get him on the road to recovery as soon as possible.
Spurs Web Opinion
This is a real blow for both Spurs and Solomon. He has started the season looking fairly lively, and definitely had more to give, too. Hopefully, the surgery goes well, and he can get back to full fitness in time for the new year.
