Solomon entered the Premier League (PL) on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk to Fulham last season. Solomon has four goals in 19 league games in good form for Fulham. Solomon returned to Shakhtar on loan and was approached by Tottenham Hotspur. In the end, he wore Tottenham's jersey on a free agent.
Solomon made his Tottenham debut against Manchester United in the second round but only played for two minutes. Solomon started against Burnley in the fourth round. Son Heung-min was on the front line and Solomon was on the left side.
Solomon showed good breakthrough throughout the game. Son Heung-min focused on scoring in the one-top position and Solomon shook the defense from the left side, creating a threatening scene. Although the timing of the pass was unfortunate, expectations were high for Tottenham's new offensive resource.
However, bad news came out. That Solomon was injured. Tottenham officially announced on its website in October that he had to undergo surgery after suffering a meniscus injury in his right knee during training.
Solomon's injury was worse than expected and he has rarely returned. He devoted himself to rehabilitation, but his recovery was slow. Solomon is back on the operating table. "Solomon underwent a small operation on the meniscus of his right knee," Tottenham said on its website.
Solomon expressed his feelings through his social media account. "Recently, I have been away from social media and have been focusing on rehabilitation and returning to the stadium. The past period was the most difficult and disappointing period of my career," Solomon said.
"I've been trying as hard as I can for the last five months to do my favourite thing again, but unfortunately I haven't fully recovered yet. However, I'm motivated and will do everything in my power to come back stronger than ever for the club and the country," he added.
According to PL Insurers, which deals with Premier League injury reports, Solomon's expected return to action was against Newcastle United. However, he was ultimately ruled out for the season. "Solomon cannot make a comeback this season. They are all undergoing rehabilitation," Enze Postecoglou said.
