Son Heung-min misses the season against Manchester United on the 30th for the first time due to thigh injury.
Tottenham, away game to Ferencvaros, Hungary on October 4
Tottenham Hotspur manager Enze Postecoglou showed a cautious attitude about the condition of Son Heung-min, who was absent for the first time this season due to a thigh injury.
Tottenham won 3-0 in the 6th round of the 2024-25 English Premier League against Manchester United (Man Utd) held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 30th (Korean time).
After losing the home game against Arsenal on the 15th, this is their 4th consecutive win in all competitions.
After the game, Coach Postekoglou said, “Tottenham are playing good soccer regardless of whether they are home or away. “We still need to improve in many areas, but the good things are continuing to improve,” he said.
Next, when asked about Son Heung-min, who was absent that day, he smiled and said, “Son Heung-min will probably be running around happy with the victory,” and then added, “We’ll see. After returning to London and monitoring Son Heung-min’s physical condition, he will decide whether to play in the next game. “Let’s see what happens,” he said.
Son Heung-min was substituted in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) on the 27th after complaining of thigh pain in the 26th minute of the second half.
Coach Postekoglou observed Son Heung-min’s physical condition during training and judged that it would be difficult for him to play against Manchester United, so he excluded him from the list. This is his first absence this season.
On this day, Coach Postekoglou said before the game, “Time was running out to prepare for the Manchester United game. “We decided that Son Heung-min was not in the right condition to play, so we decided to play the game without him,” he said. “It is a big blow to our strength, but even if a key player is missing, we must learn how to deal with it accordingly.”
If Son Heung-min returns early, he is expected to play in the second match of UEL against Ferencvaros held in Budapest, Hungary on October 4th.
