Tottenham Hotspur signed Manor Solomon during the summer transfer window.
The Israeli winger has been a useful squad player for the North London club so far but he has now suffered a major injury setback.
Paul O Keefe has now revealed on his social media account that the 24-year-old winger has picked up MCL damage and he will be sidelined for two to three months.

Tottenham are already lacking in depth in their attacking department and the injury blow to Solomon will only weaken them further. The likes of Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have not been able to hit top form yet and they will be under pressure to step up in the absence of Solomon now.
The likes of Son Heung-min and James Maddison have carried the Tottenham attack so far this season and others will now have to take responsibility as well.
Meanwhile, Solomon will be thoroughly disappointed with the injury blow at the start of his Tottenham career and it remains to be seen whether he can recover quickly and force his way into Ange Postecoglou’s first-team plans once again.
The player showcased his qualities in the Premier League last season during his loan spell at Fulham and he will be hoping to establish himself as a starter for Tottenham in the coming seasons.
The 24-year-old is a versatile winger who is capable of operating on either flank and Postecoglou could certainly use someone like him to rotate his squad and keep the players fresh during the course of a long season.
