"Son Heung-min is not 100%. I don't think I can make it against Palace at the weekend." Postecoglou confirms

Oct 25, 2024

[Tottenham Hotspur Training Center (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is still sick. It also seems difficult to play against Crystal Palace.

Tottenham will play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London on the afternoon of the 27th in an away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou held an official press conference before the game on the 25th, two days before the game. The first question about Son Heung-min's physical condition came out.

Son Heung-min missed the 2024-2025 Europa League (UEL) match against AZ Alkmaar at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 24th. In a pre-match press conference, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min complained of pain after the game against West Ham. You have to take a break and then watch it." As he said, Son did not make the roster.

He has missed a series of injuries this season. Son Heung-min was substituted during a Europa League match against Karabakh at home on September 26, complaining of pain. Since then, he has not been able to play due to injury. He skipped away to Manchester United, away to Ferencvaros and away to Brighton. He also failed to play in the A-match in October. He returned to the home game against West Ham on the 19th. He scored his third goal of the season and induced his opponent's own goal. A powerful shot also hit the post. It was a hat-trick performance. As much as I rested enough, I came back strong. But again, Son Heung-min stopped injured.

Postecoglou told a press conference before the match against Palace that `Son Heung-min has not fully recovered yet. I don't think I'm in 100% condition. I'm not going to participate in the training today. Training on the weekend (Saturday) is also expected to be difficult. Let's wait and see."

In the end, it seems to be taking another break. Tottenham will play Manchester City in the Carabao Cup round of 16 on the 30th after the away game at Palace on the weekend. He will then play Aston Villa at home on November 3. I intend to prepare Son Heung-min for this time.
