Spurs Battle Injury Gremlins Pre-Final…
Hold onto your boots, folks! Manchester United have just been handed an olive branch the size of Big Ben! Even Mary Poppins can’t fix Tottenham’s squad grumbles five days before their epic Europa League final clash that will determine civilization as we know it. Before a drop of sweat could touch the pitch, United kicked off against Chelsea, while the Spurs faced a Champions League-aspiring Aston Villa. It’s like a preview to the blockbuster where even popcorn can feel the tension! Meanwhile, both camps squint into their crystal balls, scanning for injury woes as if peering into the super-secret playbook held by the football gods themselves.
In Spurs camp, the not-so-legendary return of Son Heung-min raised more eyebrows than a dodgy VAR decision. Starting against Aston Villa in a comeback dance worthy of a Shakespearean stage, our gallant forward aimed to shake off his foot aches like a dog trying to shed rainwater. Ange Postecoglou, wearing stress like it’s the 90th minute of a 0-0 draw, deemed it wise to let Son unleash against Villa, hoping his experience could charm the ball into their net as they stumbled to a 2-0 loss.
But Tottenham weren’t out of the woods yet! Pape Matar Sarr was yanked off quicker than a FIFA server, prompting a dizzy dash down the medicinal tunnel. Youngster Mikey Moore tried adding some drama in the final minutes, only to exit the stage with dignity, walking like an understudy thrilled to live another day. Confirmed as absentees from this grand finale are Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin, among others. So, as both teams prepare to wrap themselves in layers of bubble wrap, this final promises more twists than a plumber’s snake!
