Tottenham Hotspur football club are falling apart at the seams, with the breaking Spurs’ injury news that Moussa Sissoko is going to be out of action for 3 months.
The club site revealed that it was the Frenchman’s medial collateral ligament in his right knee that was the issue.
I have previously referred to our midfield on as a welcome mat. Now the mat has been pinched, and there’s just a Post-It note stuck to the door with “It’s open, let yourself in” scrawled upon it.
Taking stock of the situation draws a depressing conclusion. We’re down to Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama as a defensive midfield pairing. Any other invented combination is actually even worse.
Once José’s blood pressure has stabilized, the Portuguese needs to have a sit down with Levy & Co., and re jig expectations for this season.
Simply buying players is so unlikely a solution in the January window, it doesn’t bear any thought.
Conclusion
In 2019, Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Mous Dembele, Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama, Jan Vertonghen, Serg Aurier, Ben Davies, Erik Lamela, and Dele Alli were all sidelined at one stage or another, with muscle injuries playing a prominent part.
Given Spurs’ continuous neglect in the transfer windows, it was more likely than not that existing players would suffer significant injury.
What else might anyone expect?
