Tottenham train ahead of City clash

Tottenham show Solomon back in training and edge closer to finalising loan plans for Scarlett as they prepare for Manchester City.

Tottenham train ahead of City clash

Tottenham released a training video from Hotspur Way ahead of their lunchtime clash with Manchester City. Solomon has returned to part training after his summer injury and is pushing to force his way into Frank’s plans after missing pre-season friendlies and early fixtures.
Scarlett, the academy graduate, has been training with the first team but a loan move remains unsettled as the transfer window nears its close. The club’s content also highlights attacking drills as Spurs look to sharpen finishing and movement ahead of a tough test in Manchester.
A teaser clip showed one on one drills and moments where Van de Ven and Kudus tested each other, with Richarlison and Solanke also among the scorers in practice and Vuskovic showing power in duels. The session underscores a focus on finishing and decision making, even as questions linger about squad depth and rotation for a busy period.

Tottenham seems to be prioritising depth and options rather than sticking to a single plan. Training footage offers a window into how the coach might mix youth with experience to withstand a demanding schedule. The focus on finishing suggests a shift from mere approach work to real game intent, especially against a high-calibre opponent.
The real test will be translating training impressions into results at the Etihad. Rotation, injuries, and the uncertain status of Scarlett’s future could shape Frank's selections and timing for key fixtures.

Every training session adds a layer to Spurs’ season plan, but the real test awaits on the field.
