Solanke could face old club Bournemouth after illness

TOTTENHAM will make a late call on forward Dominic Solanke ahead of a potential first return to Bournemouth tonight.
Solanke missed Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Fulham through illness, but could be in contention to take on his old club.
Archie Gray is also available after he suffered a dead leg last weekend but Ange Postecoglou will remain without Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (toe), Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Mikey Moore (virus) and Richarlison (hamstring).
