Tottenham will make a late call on forward Dominic Solanke ahead of his return to Bournemouth on Thursday night.

Solanke missed the 1-1 draw at home to Fulham on Sunday with illness, but is set to return to training later on Wednesday and could be in contention to take on his old club.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou decided to send Solanke home on Sunday because he was 'under the weather' and was hoping for a full recovery.

Solanke has scored six goals in 17 games since signing from Bournemouth for £65million on a six-year deal in the summer.

In November he was rewarded with his first England caps after a seven-year absence from the national team.

Postecoglou said: 'Archie (Gray) got a knock but he's recovered well. Main one is Dom and he's due to train today.

'He is still not 100 per cent but has definitely improved from the weekend. That's it. The other injured guys are inching closer but not available.'

Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (toe), Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Micky Moore (virus) and Richarlison (hamstring) remain out.
