Now, that is an unnecessary complication.
After the 30-minute mark of the Spurs game, Thiago Silva appeared to pick up a muscle injury when he was trying to stop a pass to Son Heung-min.
The 36-year-old immediately felt the trouble, and the medical staff decided not to risk him.
Andreas Christensen appeared instead of him on the pitch as the only centre-back who had been on the bench.
We’re going to wait for updates on Thiago’s fitness – and we’re certainly hope to get them after the game.
