Lots of questions. No real answers. We’ll probably find out more when Ange holds his press conference later in the week.

Bad news of the season for Tottenham fans and Israel NT
We receive some breaking news just as you were beginning to believe that the conversation about Manor Solomon was winding down. Raz Amir, an Israeli sports journalist, reports that Manor Solomon, a winger for Tottenham Hotspur, has suffered an injury this week while working out. He may be sidelined for two to three months, although the exact severity of the injury is still unknown.
t’s important to note that while this is breaking in the Israeli media, English journalists have not yet been affected. However, I anticipate that will happen soon. But given that Ivan Perisic is already out for the duration of the season, it does put Spurs in a difficult situation.
Solomon was likely going to be in the mix to start at the left wing position at least situationally. Ange Postecoglou decided to start Richarlison there against Liverpool and that could be the plan going forward assuming everyone else is healthy. But we already know that Son Heung-Min is not at 100%, and if he’s rested and Richy’s moved centrally, then that leaves a big ol’ ??? at left wing going forward.
Bryan Gil is said to be somewhat close to a return after offseason surgery, but there’s been a frustrating lack of substantial reporting on the nature of his recovery. And beyond him, well… good question. U23 winger Jamie Donley made the bench against Liverpool and has been tearing it up in the Premier League 2 this season, as has his teammate Yago Santiago. Would Ange consider throwing one of them into the fire if needed? Or would he think outside of the box, maybe pushing Destiny Udogie forward and sliding Ben Davies at LB?
