According to a report from the Telegraph, Spurs are gearing up for a friendly against Norwich City behind closed doors this Friday as the Premier League’s resumption looms – prompting many Lilywhites to react as this update emerges on Twitter.
Indeed, June 12 will allegedly see Tottenham’s first return to action since a recent pandemic postponed the top flight campaign – with a friendly match against the Canaries serving as a warm up before our first competitive encounter against Manchester United.
Spurs are currently seven points off a Champions League qualifying spot behind London rivals Chelsea, with manager Jose Mourinho potentially aiming to usurp his former club to the last remaining place.
Should Spurs play a friendly against Norwich?
Yes, ideal preparation
No, don't need more injuries
However, if Man City’s European ban is upheld, Spurs may only need to finish fifth – a position which United currently occupy.
This could well mean our impending game against the Red Devils is crucial to the success of our season, and a friendly against Norwich could provide more preparation.
However, many Lilywhites are seemingly divided over the idea – find all of their best comments down below.
