Tottenham manager Thomas Frank reveals his approach to the season, focusing on one game at a time. Find out what he says about the team's goals.


“The best players, they are performing consistently week in, week out, year in, year out...”


Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank addressed the media ahead of Saturday's clash with Brighton, providing an update on striker Dominic Solanke's progress. Solanke, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury, is slowly returning to the first team. “The positive thing is he's back on the grass,” Frank said. “He's progressing slowly, but he's progressing. Too early for tomorrow and too early for Doncaster.” This suggests Solanke won't be available for Saturday's match against Brighton or next week's Carabao Cup tie against Doncaster Rovers.


Solanke's potential return date could be when Tottenham faces Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in the Premier League on Saturday, September 28. Frank mentioned that Solanke has been training on the grass for three to four days and is making progress, but it's too early for him to feature in the upcoming matches.


Solanke's absence has not significantly impacted Tottenham's performance, with Richarlison and Mathys Tel stepping up in his place. However, his return would be a boost to the team, especially with the Champions League fixtures approaching. Solanke's injury history has raised concerns, and Frank might be cautious in throwing him into action immediately.




Cristian Romero: A Maturing Talent Impressing for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank heaped praise on centre-back Cristian Romero, highlighting his growth and maturity over the past few years. Frank noted that Romero has consistently impressed, showcasing his skills as a key player for the team. With his strong performances, Romero has become an integral part of Tottenham's defense, and Frank's praise underscores his importance to the squad.


“When he trains, he's focused, he's got that ability. Even with set pieces it can be stop-start, but he's so focused. 


“I rate him super highly. I agree that I think he's one of the best centre-backs in the world. It helps when you've won the World Cup, Copa America and Europa League.


“The best players, they are performing consistently week in, week out, year in, year out. I don't know Cuti that well yet, but I've watched him for years. I see a more mature player, I'm not saying the last three months but for longer. He's aggressive when he needs to be and cool and composed when he needs to be.” 



Setting Realistic Goals for the Season

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is taking a measured approach to the season, focusing on one game at a time rather than getting ahead of himself. When asked about the team's goals, Frank said, “April. Let's put it that way,” indicating that he'll start thinking about the bigger picture later in the season. This approach allows the team to stay focused on the present moment and build momentum as the season progresses.


“I'm focused on us and our performances and what we can do.


“For the fans, they should dream and hope. That's what football is all about. I also dream and hope, but I'm a little closer to things, so I need to stay level-headed.”
