Son Heung-min’s injury
Son Heung-min’s injury can be omitted from the management level even if it is not severe.
Tottenham will face Manchester United in the sixth round of the 2024-25 Premier League at Old Trafford in Manchester, the U.K., at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. After losing consecutive games to Newcastle United and Arsenal, Tottenham won the match by defeating Brentford 3-1. It aims to win consecutive games against Manchester United.
Whether Son will play or not is uncertain. Son started and played in the UEFA Europa League against Karabakh, but was replaced after Dominic Solanke scored in the 26th minute of the second half. He collapsed and left the ground complaining of pain. “After Solanke’s goal, he collapsed and received treatment, and was replaced by Werner. It could be a precautionary measure, but Son’s face looked stiff,” said Niger Kinsella, a reporter for the BBC.
After the match, Enze Postecoglou said, “He said he was a little tired. I haven’t talked with the medical staff about Son’s injury.” Postecoglou further said in a pre-press conference with Manchester United, “Everything is fine except for Son. Of course, I don’t think Son’s condition is that bad. Son wants to train tomorrow. I will decide after checking his condition in the training.”
Son is absolutely the best in Tottenham’s offense. Even with Solanke and Brennan Johnson, Son will lose weight if he is absent. For this reason, Postecoglou used Son for official matches before this season, bracing himself for controversy over excessive force. Postecoglou said, “Earlier this year, I wanted to ease Son’s burden. However, other players including Hisalisson and Dominic Solanke were injured. That’s why Son has played more than I wanted.”
Still, he pointed out the murderous schedule, saying, “It is not because of his age that he needs to manage. Age does not affect Son. The important thing is that there are too many schedules.”
Although Postecoglou did not admit it, Son is now older and is facing a suspicious injury. Even if he can, he could suffer even more serious injury if he overdoes it. This is why people need a rest before the match against Manchester United. “A lot of attention is paid to Son’s hamstring. We have to monitor the situation until the day of the match, but Son is better off missing one game. It is better to skip this time than to leave for a long time,” said Alasdair Gold, Tottenham’s reporter for Football London.
Gold also said, “Son Heung-min is quite good at penetrating the sides and center. If he has a problem with his hamstring, it could have a big impact on his breakthrough and worsen his injury. It would be better to lose weight given the pessimistic outlook. Timo Werner is not good, and it would be a burden to let go 17-year-old Mikey Moore. Dejan Kulusevski will replace Son and form an offensive team with Solanke and Johnson.” 메이저사이트
