If you hang around Tottenham Hotspur social media you might have already heard about a rumor circulating that suggested Randal Kolo Muani had picked up a hamstring injury in Spurs’ win over Wolves (along with Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke who were also withdrawn due to injury.
Well, I have news. You’re not going to believe this, but this particular internet rumor was (gasp) not true! Alasdair Gold has tweeted that the suggestion good ol’ Randy Kilo Miami was hurt were wide of the mark and that he should
be set to play away at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Look, I’m not convinced this is a good thing either, except to point out that once again Spurs are down to the bare bones of players available, and he’s one of the few healthy senior Tottenham players who can play on the right wing. No, he hasn’t been especially good lately. But yes, he has done some good things, particularly early in the first half at the Molineux where he was doing decidedly wingery things on the right wing. That’s something you can hold on to, at least. And honestly, he’s a warm body on a team that needs as many of those as possible.
I think it’s pretty clear that, regardless of whether Tottenham stay up or get relegated, it’s unlikely Spurs will be taking up their option to sign Randy permanently. *monkey’s paw curls*
But this is more a cautionary article, reminding you that it’s not a good idea to believe every unsourced rumor you see on Spurs social media. Especially if it originated on the Bad Social Media Network That Used To Have A Bird On It. It’s also an excuse for me to play around with embedding cute and thematically appropriate animated .gifs on the website dot com. We all must take what small pleasures we can from this dumpster fire of a season, right?
