Thomas Frank expects Brennan Johnson to be back in the frame to face his former side Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The forward missed our 3-0 win over Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday after being touch and go in the build up but our Head Coach revealed the 24-year-old was back in training ahead of our Premier League trip to the City Ground.
Following back-to-back home wins in all competitions, we're on our travels this weekend with everyone that was available last time out fit for the Forest trip.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Thomas said: "I expect him [Brennan] to be available for Forest, he trained today. Everyone that was available for Slavia will be available for Forest."
Our Head Coach was also asked for an update on long-term absentee Dominic Solanke after the striker posted on social media with a picture of him in Spurs action earlier in the season and two sand timer emojis.
The 28-year-old has been sidelined since he featured off the bench in our 2-0 win at Manchester City on 23 August and, whilst he remains away from the squad with an indefinite return date, Dom is back working on the grass in an individual capacity.
"I guess it is good news when he posts there [on social media]," Thomas elaborated. "As I said with Dom, because it is an injury that he picked up in July, it’s dragged on for a while. When he is training fully with the team and available for selection, I’ll say something."
