FA Cup Round of 64 clash at 9:30 PM on the 12th
‘Granted rest’ Son Heung-min starts from the bench
Tottenham Hotspur’s ’18’ Yang Min-hyuk’s big league debut in the English professional football Premier League (EPL) has been postponed to the next date.
Tottenham will play the round of 64 of the 2024-2025 FA Cup against Tamworth (5th Division) at The Lamb Ground in Tamworth, England, at 9:30 pm (Korean time) on the 12th.
As it was a match against a lower league team, Tottenham coach Anger Postekoglou activated the rotation as expected.
However, Yang Min-hyuk’s debut match, which was expected by domestic and overseas soccer fans, did not materialize.
Yang Min-hyuk, who was included in the substitute list during the first leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool on the 9th, was expected to play his first game for Tottenham through this game, but contrary to expectations, he was not even listed as a substitute.
Coach Postekoglou selected Moore, Werner, Johnson, Maddison, Bissouma, Sarr, Reguilon, Gray, Dragusin, Foro and Kinski as starters.
Yang Min-hyuk, who appeared like a comet in last year’s K-League 1 Gangwon FC, signed a contract with Tottenham mid-season and joined early at the club’s request in December of last year.
Expectations were raised as he received the number 18 jersey, previously worn by former national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Harry Kane, who is considered one of Tottenham’s best strikers of all time.
However, following his failure to appear against Liverpool, he was left out of the roster for today’s game, leaving a mark of disappointment.
Meanwhile, ‘captain’ Son Heung-min starts from the bench this day.
Son Heung-min, who suffered from a hamstring injury early in the season, was expected to be given a rest in today’s game, and he will start the game as a substitute rather than a starter.
