Son Heung-min's face on Tottenham 'Match Day Official' and the possibility of accompanying Manchester United away ↑ Question mark on whether to start or not
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) seems to be included in the away match for Manchester United.
Tottenham posted the match against Manchester United 'Official Poster' on its official SNS on the 29th (Korea time). With Brennan Johnson decorating the background, the faces of Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min were on the poster.
It is unclear whether he will be selected or not. Coach Enze Postecoglou told a press conference against Manchester United, `I didn't want to let Son play too much earlier this season. But we lost Hishalysong, and then Solanke and Odobert. Sometimes, the type is more important than the amount of injuries in soccer." It is true that Son Heung-min played more than I wanted. It was to manage Son Heung-min that he signed Solanke and Odobert and extended Werner's loan."
And `Son Heung-min should also play for the national team. That's something I need to consider. This is the case so far. Son Heung-min also wants to play all the time. This is his attitude, but we have to take good care of it. It doesn't matter much about age. I don't think I'll be affected much by age. I don't think it's sustainable to play like this in modern football"We talked a lot about too many schedules. Part of that responsibility, I said, lies with us. You have to protect the players. As for Son Heung-min, he stressed, "We have to pay attention to these things."

The key is also held by Postecoglou. He said "I usually make decisions by myself. Players like Son Heung-min have experienced it before. He always wants to play. Should I kill his desire to win by drinking a cup of tea. I'd rather take him off the starting list, and he'd rather be disappointed with me. This decision is my responsibility and I have to bear it."
Given that Son Heung-min took a side of the poster, chances are high that he will be included in the entry. However, it is widely expected that he will start as a substitute instead of a starter.
Postecoglou said Son Heung-min's absence should also be overcome. He added "It's also an opportunity. It is important to create opportunities. That's why there is a leadership group. Who can show leadership in this situation. This situation will happen in the future."When Son Heung-min was replaced in the last game and Vicario wore the captain's armband, he seemed to feel responsible and enjoy it. You can't realize these things without a chance. Even if Son Heung-min is less involved, we still have a clear opportunity to show our performance as a team. "

England's 『Football London" unveiled Tottenham's expected best 11 against Manchester United on the 29th. At first, Son Heung-min was included in the starting list, but a little later, he was replaced by Timo Werner.
'Football London' is 'We are optimistic. If Son had any chance to play, he would definitely play because he would've played,' he explained, but corrected himself by saying, "'As for the hamstring, Tottenham wouldn't want to put Son in danger if things were likely to get worse.'
In a 4-3-3 system, Dominic Solanke is in the one-top position with Werner on the left and Johnson on the right wing forward. Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison are expected to start in the midfield. Destiny Udoji, Mickey van der Pen, Christian Romero and Porpo are lined up in the four-back, and the goal is a picture guarded by Guglielmo Vicario.
