Pretty much as expected. If he's still out in the first week of March, that includes the Carabao S-F, both legs against Dortmund and PL games against Chelsea and Arsenal. Marvellous!
Not including time for him to get back to full fitness. Last time you boys rushed him back early you guys weren't happy because he was playing at like 50% and impacting the team (plus son was doing a marvellous job so there was no need)
At least Sonny should be back for both Dortmund games and Chelsea and Arsenal prem matches - Last time Harry was out for this length of time (Sept - Nov 16) we didn't lose in the league, though there were too many draws,and we were crap in the ECL!
Hopefully we replicate that stretch last season where the rest of the team upped their game to compensate ...which would be a hell of a lot easier if Son was available while both Lucas and Lamela weren't coming back from injury
IIRC it was Bournemouth last season when he got injured. I think that was March time?! IMO he didn’t look back to his best until November. However, last time, Son stepped in and we scored a hatful of goals in his absence. History has repeated, but we’re also without Son to bail us out. Very worrying, but none of us can be surprised it’s happened. Same with Sissoko.
Silverware would have been a massive challenge WITH Kane, Son, and a fit midfield. Dortmund now have a massive upper hand in the CL, we’ve got the finest of margins against Chelsea in the Carabao and will go into the game with an injury plague. Not to mention our rivals are hot on our heels in the league with the recent wolves and united defeats. It’s hard to be optimistic. It’s been one thing after another with spurs this season. We’ve done incredibly well so far, but I just can’t see us over coming this.
Might be time to use three centre-halves, if our defence are all fit. Rotate Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Foyth, Sanchez and Davies there and Rose, Trippier, Aurier, Walker-Peters and Davies out wide. Start Llorente, get crosses into him and push one of our academy strikers up to the bench.
