Tottenham's Manor Solomon faces sideline stint after knee surgery

Spurs announced in a brief statement on their official website that the 24-year-old suffered a meniscus injury in training earlier this week and went under the knife on Thursday.

The 24-year-old Israel international joined Spurs in the summer from Shakhtar Donetsk, having impressed while on loan at Fulham last season.

He has made six appearances for Spurs in this campaign, most recently as a second-half substitute in last weekend's dramatic 2-1 Premier League win over Liverpool.

But he now joins an extensive injury list, with Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso and Solomon's fellow summer signing Brennan Johnson all on the treatment table.

"We can confirm that Manor Solomon suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in training this week," Spurs' statement said.

"The forward has undergone surgery today (Thursday) and will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately."
