Tottenham wins 4 consecutive wins despite absence of captain Son Heung-min
Announcement of Hong Myung-bo’s list at 11 o’clock on the 30th… Will there be a national team without Son Heung-min?
Tottenham’s captain Son Heung-min missed the match against Manchester United in the English Premier League (EPL) held on the 30th (local time).
On the 30th, Tottenham, without Son Heung-min, played an away game in the 6th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season and beat Manchester United 3-0. Son Heung-min was excluded from the list of players due to a problem with his hamstring (the muscle behind the thigh). This is the first time Son Heung-min has been absent due to physical condition since the 2022-2023 season, when he underwent surgery for an orbital fracture.
Son Heung-min left the field in the 26th minute of the second half of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) match against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) on the 26th (local time), complaining of thigh pain. Before this game, Son Heung-min complained of fatigue at a press conference, saying, “There are too many games to be played in one season,” and “We are not robots.” Because of this, voices of concern arose among fans.
Only this month, he played with the national soccer team in the first and second matches of Group B of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia region in Korea and Oman. In the meantime, he was forced to participate in all Tottenham games, including EPL, League Cup, and UEL.
At 11 a.m. on the 30th, Korean time, national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo announces the national team roster ahead of the second consecutive international match in October. These are the players who will play in the third match of Group B of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round in Jordan on October 10th. Attention is focused on how Coach Hong will organize the team amid Son Heung-min’s injury.
Meanwhile, although Son Heung-min was not present, Tottenham achieved their fourth consecutive official win, including two league games, one League Cup game, and one UEFA Europa League game.
Tottenham, who played against Manchester United without Son Heung-min, formed an offensive line centered around Dominic Solanke with Timo Werner, Dejan Kulusevski, and Brennan Johnson. Tottenham, who continued to apply intense pressure from the beginning, took the lead with Johnson’s first goal three minutes after kickoff. Then, two minutes into the second half, Kulusevski scored an additional goal, and Solanke scored the third goal in the 33rd minute of the second half.
On this day, Pedro Foro took Son Heung-min’s signature pose after the Tottenham player scored a goal and consoled him for his absence.
