Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is set to be out for "around six weeks" with a knee injury, says head coach Ange Postecoglou, as the club's injury crisis deepens.

Solanke was one of 14 senior players absent from Spurs' 3-2 win at Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday.

And afterwards, Postecoglou said he expected Solanke to be out until early March, meaning he will miss their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg meeting with Liverpool as well as several Premier League games.

"With Dom [Solanke], the information now is around the six-week mark with him," Postecoglou said.

"No surgery but we're looking around six weeks. It might be quicker but we'll see."

Solanke joins a lengthy injury list that includes fellow forwards Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson.

While some players, such as Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr and Cristian Romero, are close to a return, others are long-term absentees, including first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario.
