The striker suffered a knock earlier this summer but is expected to be back in contention as Spurs visit Germany
The striker picked up an ankle injury in a friendly clash against Reading in July and has not appeared since, but it is hoped he can return to the fold on Thursday as the Lilywhites visit Bavaria to face Bayern Munich.
They will make the trip without James Maddison, though, after the midfielder was stretchered off with a fresh knee injury during a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at the weekend.
Son Heung-Min will also be absent after he bid an emotional farewell to the club in the same match. He is expected to complete a move to LAFC in the coming days.
As this is Spurs’ last friendly outing ahead of the UEFA Super Cup, Frank is expected to name a squad similar to that which will face European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Maddison’s injury means that Lucas Bergvall could return to the starting XI as a No10, as he did against Arsenal in Hong Kong a week ago
Son’s absence is set to prompt a shake-up in Frank’s forward line, and could open the door for Solanke to return.
Frank said last week that the striker ‘should be fit’ to return in time for the Bayern clash, and, with Richarlison struggling for form, he could be handed a chance to impress, though his minutes may be limited as he looks to avoid reaggravating the injury.
