Dominic Solanke

Solanke has been reinstated to the UCL squad in place of Mathys Tel, according to his club. "Yeah, I made the decision. That was not a nice decision to have to make. Unfortunately, that's football, so you have to make a decision. And the way the rules are, the only option was either Dom or Mathys in the squad, and I chose Dom because I think Mathys has done very well the last couple of games, and that's the crazy thing - if I could pick from all the players who are fit, he would start tomorrow. But I can only pick between the two of them, and now he's out of the squad. So that's, of course, a tough one to take from Mathys."

Solanke (ankle) appeared for seven minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. From Thomas Frank, "Of course, he's not fully to fit to go 90 minutes, top sharp, but he is fit enough to get out there and get 15 minutes... Then, we build from there and he will be in a better place next week against West Ham."

Solanke (ankle) is not ready to return and won't be available for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, but he's trending in the right direction, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Both of them [Udogie and Solanke] trained, both of them are getting closer, definitely," he said. "Destiny is a bit closer than Dom, but both of them are positive and improving."

Solanke (ankle) is back in light training, according to manager Thomas Frank. "It was a little bit more competitive in the small sided games. He looked a little bit rusty, which is completely normal. Now he's been out for at least six months, so of course it will take a little bit of time. So even if he's ready for whatever time in the near future, hopefully, then I think we'll be surprised to just see him just hit the ground running - very few players do that."

Solanke (ankle) has been given a timeline of the end of January for a possible return to the pitch by manager Thomas Frank. "The thing I need to open up about, of course, is when he's out there on the pitch with pictures, then that's positive, of course. But to say mid-Jan or end of Jan or 25th of Jan."
