Ange Postecoglou will be rather happy with the latest development regarding his big-money striker, Dominic Solanke, on Sunday evening.
Huge game on Saturday
Postecoglou looked the most dejected he has in his Spurs tenure on the back of his side’s poor second-half showing against Brighton.
The Tottenham head coach labelled the performance as ‘unacceptable’, admitting that his side did not show any real belief or urgency (Football.London).
He will want to see a response from the players in the big London derby against West Ham on Sunday, with Spurs desperately needing to get back to winning ways.
Solanke boost
Postecoglou and his staff will be nervously keeping an eye on the internationals this week as they hope that all their players stay injury-free.
He would have thus been pleased to see Dominic Solanke being left as an unused substitute for England in their 3-1 win over Finland in Helsinki on Sunday.
The Tottenham striker won his first cap in seven years when he came on as a late substitute at Wembley in England’s loss to Greece last week.

Son’s potential return?
Postecoglou could also be boosted by the return of his captain, who has missed the last three matches with a hamstring injury.
