That's irrelevant, it's a temporary change. Solanke would be straight back in when he was fit again

We're probably not are we?
Tbh it's hard to see us giving anyone a real beating the way we are playing atm. We can definitely go there and win because we aren't bad away from home but we don't currently play with enough balls to ever score 4 or 5 against anyone.We're probably not are we?
Needs to keep getting chances or he’ll sulk into being worth zero in a potential transfer. Plus Tel isn’t registered, RKM not match fit to start yet, and Dom obvs out.
It’s not a lack of balls- mostly just quality. Having one less attacker on the pitch because Frank chose Benta over Sarr or Bergvall is right now imo the difference between us getting points or not.

When is Solanke back btw? Will he be fit for next season?
Everytime I see the starting 11 now noting really gets me thinking wow I'm excited about this match
Shoe horning players in to a system with no striker won’t work imo
When is Solanke back btw? Will he be fit for next season?
Likely back just after November international break which starts in about 2 and a half weeks time and lasts for 2 weeks.
Rarely injured at previous clubs until last few months at Spurs.
The script writers need new lines for this club.
I’m fully board of all of them. Especially the injuries and this stupid period from Late October to early January. Who was surprised to see Chelsea on our fixture list around this time. That’s 3 seasons in a row now.
The way I read it, Solanke has to be out for a minimum of 60 days after Tel is allowed into squad - see top of page 2 of link below.

60 days from when the injury occurred. The player would only have to wait if back earlier than 60 days which won't happen with Solanke.
Depends when uefa decide the injury occurred - he played a couple of games in pre-season before 'resting' to hope his ankle occurred itself, before an operation on or about 29 September. UEFA could determine its the operation causing him not to be able to play - in which case he might need o be out until 29 November (not a real issue I suspect).
The odd bit is the club needs to provide medical evidence for Solanke's illness and for club to ask for Tell to play in place of Solanke - and there is no sign that is underway.
I know Liverpool have used this for really long term injuries (out for season). Are you aware of other clubs applying for 'temporary' changes in squad similar to the Solanke position ? Might give us a hint that UEFA are applying the rules in a more 'rigerous' way than they appear to be written.
Slightly different subject, but Spurs seem to have nominated a lot of List B players which I do not think were there when I last looked before last CL match https://editorial.uefa.com/resource...a341f2b-1000/20250912_circular_2025_51_en.pdf
Sam Archer, Blake Irow, James Rowswell, Harry Byrne, Miracle Adewole, Elijah Upson, Tyler Tingley, James Beggs, Ronnie Moncur, Reiss Elliott- Parris, Oliver Irow in addition to previous List B players nominated
I think Akliouche plays RW for them?
It's counted from when the injury occurred, not from when the operation was.
FFS another 'minor' injury that drags on
Can just assume Romero won't be fit in time to play. Just so we can better manage our expectations. Wouldn't trust any estimated return dates from Frank, or for the matter, any of our managers, at all. Our medical department is just..... Argh
