Huge injury boost for Tottenham ahead of Brentford as training video emerges

Wait 5 sec.

Roberto De Zerbi could be handed a huge boost ahead of Tottenham’s opening game of the Premier League season against Brentford.Spurs have a tough start to the new campaign as they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to take on the Bees.There is big concern around the lack of attacking options at De Zerbi’s disposal at the moment, with Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski only having recently returned to training, and neither having featured in pre-season.Meanwhile, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are both nursing long-term injuries and are not expected to be fit for a while.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramDominic Solanke takes part in Tottenham training ahead of Brentford clashThe other concern is around the fitness of Dominic Solanke, who has only featured twice in pre-season and not in any of the friendlies since the Lilywhites returned from their pre-season tour of Oceania.The centre-forward missed almost the entirety of last season due to multiple injury issues, which adds to the supporters’ concerns.Some Spurs fans noticed Solanke doing some drills in the background on Sunday, during the club’s pre-season friendly against Hoffenheim at Hotspur Way.In a big boost, we now have confirmation that the striker is back in full training, with the England international spotted in the training video released by the club on Wednesday.
