Ange Postecoglou has admitted Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is no where near returning to the fold.
The Israeli winger has now been out of action since September with his last appearance coming in the victory against Liverpool.
Despite undergoing surgery, Ange Postecoglou has claimed there has been no return date set on the 24-year-old.
Manor Solomon injury latest
It has been a really difficult period for Manor Solomon who has not taken to the pitch since the early stages of the season.
The injury came after he had made a bright start to the campaign with two assists inside his first two appeareances.
However, the player underwent meniscus surgery in October and he has never been seen since.
His previous manager Marco Silva hailed the 24-year-old as “important” last season.
Speaking ahead of the game against Solomon’s former side, Fulham, on Friday from Hotspur Way, Postecoglou said: “I’m not really sure and I wouldn’t want to put that pressure on him.
“He’s had a tough time. Whenever players go through these periods, the important thing is not to try to put any firm deadlines or firm statements around it. Bentancur went through it when he overlapped two seasons, but these things happen. We’ve got Sess going through it.
“All you’ve got to do is help them along the way, support them and give them as much guidance as you can, and put them in the hands of the people who know best and just see what the outcomes are.”
Tottenham’s summer winger search
Although Spurs may have a number of quality options on the wing currently, they are still being linked with a number of players ahead of the summer.
It has been suggested Pedro Neto and Eberechi Eze are two players which are among the options for Daniel Levy.
This comes at a time when Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Dejan Kulusevski are all providing a healthy return in the Premier League.
And that is not even mentioning the stunning season Heung-min Son is having.
With Solomon potentially returning during the summer, Postecoglou will have some serious options to choose from.
However, there are no certainties over the future of Werner who is currently only at Spurs on loan.
Spurs have until 14 June to make a decision on whether they want to activate his £15m permanent clause.
It is suggested the German is keen to stay in north London which would boost Postecoglou’s numbers for next season.
