TOTTENHAM star Dominic Solanke was sent home by boss Ange Postecoglou ahead of today’s clash with Fulham.

Solanke, 27, arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this morning feeling under the weather but still looking to play a part.

After seeing his centre-forward, boss Postecoglou decided to give him the afternoon off to rest.

Explaining Solanke’s omission from the team ahead of kick-off, the Aussie, 58, said: “He just came in today and he wasn’t looking the best.

“He was under the weather so we sent him home.

“Hopefully a full recovery and ready to go for the next one.”

Solanke played the full 90 minutes as Tottenham drew 2-2 with Roma in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The summer signing has scored four goals in 10 Premier League appearances this season.

He has added a further two strikes in Europe.

Postecoglou was also without long-term absentee Richarlison, with Son Heung-min deployed as a central striker.

Timo Werner started to Son’s left, with Brennan Johnson on the right.

And it was the winger duo who combined to break the deadlock on 54 minutes.

Werner crossed the ball for Johnson to slot home first time, giving Spurs the lead.

They were only ahead for 13 minutes, however, with Tom Cairney stroking the visitors level from the edge of the box.

Cairney then went from hero to zero as he was sent off for a poor challenge on Dejan Kulusevski.

But Solanke-less Spurs could not find a winner, drawing 1-1 to lose further pace on the top four race.
