The Tottenham star is not injured contrary to claims on social media.

In the hierarchy of victories available to Tottenham at this particular moment in time, the confirmation that Randal Kolo Muani has not suffered a hamstring injury sits somewhere between minor relief and transparent desperation. That such a piece of news carries positive weight speaks volumes about the squad’s current state.

De Zerbi arrived at a club with ten first-team players unavailable through injury. That list continues to expand with alarming regularity.

Kolo Muani saw himself withdrawn at half-time during Tottenham’s victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, triggering immediate concern across social media. Matt Law and Alasdair Gold both moved swiftly to dispel those rumours, confirming that the removal was precautionary rather than reactive to any physical complaint. It is a small piece of good fortune within an otherwise relentless sequence of setbacks.

His performances in a Tottenham shirt have been conspicuously underwhelming. One league goal in just more than two dozen appearances represents a return so meagre that it qualifies as actively damaging.

The injury scare, brief though it was, exposed something worth acknowledging. Tottenham are now in a position where the continued availability of an underperforming player is cause for celebration rather than merely expected. A player who has provided minimal value throughout the campaign becomes, by default, crucial because so many others have departed injured.

The psychological dimension matters here as well. Kolo Muani has endured a season of rejection and underperformance. The crowd has turned against him. His teammates have developed patterns of play that do not naturally include him. Reversing that reality, should he become a regular selection, requires not merely his fitness but genuine renewal of confidence and application.

Kolo Muani remains available. That is progress. Whether his availability translates into the kind of performance Tottenham desperately require remains profoundly uncertain.
