Mathys Tel is being dropped from Tottenham’s Champions League squad to accommodate Dominic Solanke, according to reports in his native France.
L’Equipe say Tel, a £30million summer signing from Bayern Munich just seven months ago, has been informed that he will not be selected for European action in the second half of the season by manager Thomas Frank.
The French international had previously been left out of the initial squad for Europe in September in an initial blow.
But following an injury to Solanke, Spurs were able to exploit a loophole in Uefa regulations to bring the player in.
During his brief stint in Champions League action, Tel played 32 minutes for his side during their 3-0 win versus Slavia Prague.
Tel first moved to Tottenham as a loanee player a year ago, but as his fortunes continue to dip at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the forward may yet be allowed to go on loan this month.
