Dominic Solanke returns to fitness as Tottenham prepare for a UEFA Super Cup clash with PSG in Udine.

Solanke fitness boosts Spurs ahead of Super Cup clash in Udine

Dominic Solanke is available for selection as Tottenham face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, Italy on Wednesday evening. The striker has been sidelined with an ankle issue since July 26 and missed the last four pre-season matches against Luton, Arsenal, Newcastle and Bayern Munich. The match will be played at Stadio Friuli, the home ground of Udinese.

Coach Thomas spoke at the stadium ahead of the press conference and provided an update on the squad. He said the group is in a good place fitness wise and Solanke is back and ready. Destiny is getting closer to joining training but is not yet ready for the game. Bissouma did not travel with the group for disciplinary reasons.

Solanke’s return gives Spurs more attacking options against a PSG side that won last season’s Champions League. The absence of Bissouma for disciplinary reasons adds a cautionary note about squad conduct and selection pressure in a high-profile fixture. Destiny’s gradual progression toward full training could widen rotation options if the game goes to plan. The setting in Udine introduces travel considerations and a different ground dynamic that could influence how the teams approach a one-off final. Overall, fitness and discipline at the squad level appear to be the defining levers for Spurs ahead of a demanding start to the campaign.

Highlights

Udine may offer clues about Spurs’ balance for a busy start to the season.
