"Dom has got that ankle issue that's been bothering him for a little while, so now we've decided to make a minor surgery,"
"It's a small procedure, so that will mean he is not ready for today of course and of course Leeds (on Saturday) as well. We'll have more news about a timeframe after the international break, but I don't expect it to be long."
"No, I think you can look at it two ways. That is the easy answer but it is not that easy because if we knew we could have done the surgery a month ago, we probably would have done it."
Dominic Solanke, the 28-year-old former Bournemouth striker, underwent a minor ankle surgery after an issue that sidelined him for about five weeks. The forward last played on August 23 against Manchester City and will miss the Champions League trip to Bodo/Glimt and the upcoming Leeds match. The ankle problem caused him to miss most of pre-season despite featuring early in August against Paris St Germain, Burnley and Manchester City. The club plans to provide a clearer recovery timeframe after the international break and expects the layoff to be short. Uncertainty about the injury's timing delayed earlier surgery.
