Tottenham Missing Son Heung-min and Another Player for Liverpool Clash

Okay, let’s give this a whirl, just a bit untidy as life’s beautiful mess often is:

—

So here’s the deal, and bear with me, ’cause it’s all over the place like a toddler’s drawing of a dinosaur. Tottenham (you know, Spurs – not that I get how spurs relate to soccer, but hey) are heading over to Anfield. They’re up against Liverpool, and it’s gonna be a thing on Sunday. All eyes on the Reds and their possible title bash. But let’s not forget, Tottenham’s in the picture too. Even if, uh, the Premier League vibes are a bit meh for them right now.

They got a Europa League semi-final popping up real soon. Like, four days later—so soon it feels like a “wait, wasn’t there something else I had to do?” kind of scenario. But facing Liverpool, they’ll miss Son Heung-min. He’s usually the guy making trouble for the Reds – seven goals in his track record and all. But his foot’s been acting up. Why do feet have to be so weirdly fragile, anyway?

Postecoglou, yes the dude calling the shots for Spurs, mentioned on Friday (or was it Thursday? Days are blurring, honestly) that injuries aren’t their main gig. Except for Son. Gosh, his absence is loud, right?

“We don’t have injury problems, per se. Well, Sonny’s figuring things out on his end,” said Postecoglou. I’m paraphrasing here, don’t mind me, but you get the drift. Everyone else is doing okay, ticking along, except for those with longer-term stuff. Oh, and Radu Dragusin—he’s out. ACL surgery, says he’ll be back eventually. Fingers crossed for him.

What’s even happening with rotation? Spurs are juggling things because, you know, Europa League dreams. No trophy since, what, 2008? A good year, maybe. Or was it bad? Anyway. Potential squad tweaks mean some players might warm the bench. Swapping around, I guess.

Postecoglou mentioned maybe giving extra playtime to some and resting others. Kinda like when you’re figuring out which leftovers to reheat. Pedro Porro, Micky van de Ven, and some others like Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson might take it easy. They could roll with Odobert, Richarlison, and Tel leading the charge, but their season tallies aren’t making headlines.

In goal, Vicario’s the name floating around. Behind him, maybe a line-up with Spence, Romero, Danso, and Udogie holding fort. In the middle? Sarr, Bissouma, and Kulusevski might swing their boots as Spurs chase their first Anfield win since 2011.

And there you have it, possible line-up and all: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Danso, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski; Odobert, Richarlison, Tel. It’s like piecing together a puzzle, where some bits just decide to go missing for a bit. Spurs fans will be crossing fingers, touching wood—whatever superstition helps, honestly.

And that’s the scoop, or a half-swirly attempt at it. Here’s hoping it delivers what it needs to, like a pizza that’s slightly cold but still hits the spot. 🍕
