Lookman and Perez being unavailable is an unexpected bonus!

Multi tool Amartey to right wing. 

[TeaMen Tom]

Spurs supposedly has 8 players with Covid.

[Lionator]

This is going to be the reality for the next couple of months with this new covid variant. It'll rip through clubs.

 

Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa got 31 cases, Belenenses 17 cases, Spurs 8 cases, Munster Rugby got 14 in South Africa too.

That’s a genuine loss, such a useful player

[CosbehFox]

The names so far suggest a Monday training session after the game on Sunday - all subs and the subbed.

We're genuinely ****ed if something should happen to Jonny or Cags. Wilf is a last resort but after that we literally wouldn't have anyone to put back there.

[TeaMen Tom]

Potential issue on the backline if someone gets hurt.

[Lako42]

This will be interesting 

[tsintskaro]

are these players vaccinated? ffs

 

anyway this may be a plan B to sack Rodgers

Correct. Less ventilated spaces + new variant with a higher r rate. Every club will have a spell. Will call off or delay AFCON I reckon as well.

Hasn’t travelled

[AjcW]

Assume they will miss the weekend too in that case? 

[TeaMen Tom]

Might be a good time for a postponement this weekend.

[UniFox21]

Two of them maybe would've started? Reduces our bench but not hugely concerned.

[lanefox]

Hope they’re all okay but it could’ve been a lot worse

[Lesta2014]

Amartey weren’t on the bench Sunday was he? He could of caught it first?

As for DC and Benkovic, even if they were our last two players standing, they wouldn't play

Even when we won the league and then the cup, fans moaned about something. It’s in our DNA. It was not a criticism, just a valid observation! At the end of the cup final, some bloke turned to me and said they like putting us through it! 

. crit·i·cism

the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

 

All people who criticize feel that's it's a valid observation. Quite often it's just moaning !

[BoyJones]

Worrying times. I wonder how many other clubs are in the same position. Just hope all players get through it ok. 
 

One of the reasons I didn’t travel was the pre flight home PCR test. I had booked the Rome/Naples coach trip. Planned to stay in Rome for four days.
 

In fact, two of my mates flew home from after four nights in Lapland on Sunday. Landed in the UK, had the tests, both families all positive! If they had flown home Tuesday, they would have had to test in Finland and isolate over there for 10 days. 
 

Everybody over there, please be extra careful.
