Solomon only moved to north London over the summer on a free, following an impressive loan spell at Fulham from Shakhtar Donetsk last season.<\/p>\n

Fellow winger Ivan Perisic has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring his ACL.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman and midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur and Giovani Lo Celso are also out injured.<\/p>\n
