Why was Toby Alderweireld’s Spurs badge missing on his shirt against Liverpool?

It’s hard to play for the badge when it’s not even present on your shirt.

The badge is the most important part of any football shirt, so when it’s missing it’s hard not to notice.

And that was certainly the case when Toby Alderweireld took to the field to play for Tottenham against Liverpool in a clash of the Premier League titans.

The Spurs centre-back, who is recognised as one of the best in the division, was pictured defending against Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino with the score 0-0, but something wasn’t right about the image.

Where is Tottenham’s famous cockerel badge?

It’s definitely not there, unless the kit manufacturers accidentally stitched it on the inside of the shirt…

After a 2-1 defeat it’s probably the last thing on Spurs fans’ minds, but answers will be required at some stage.

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards is expected to miss the rest of the season after he hurt his left leg Saturday night in a 31-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

Coach Ben Johnson said it looks like Edwards “had a fibula fracture which we’ll take him out for the rest of the season here.”

Edwards went down early in the second quarter after his left foot got caught up with the leg of Packers receiver Christian Watson and bent awkwardly. He was fitted with an air cast before he was carted away.

The 29-year-old Edwards was limited to 10 games during the regular season because of injuries. He returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown in Chicago's 42-38 loss at San Francisco on Dec. 28.

Edwards signed a two-year contract extension with Chicago in April.
