Tottenham prepares for the game without Son Heung-min.

Tottenham will play two UEFA Europa League (UEL) phases in 2024-2025 season with Ferencvaros at the Grupama Arena in Budapest, Hungary at 1:45 a.m. on the 4th (Korea time). Tottenham is trying to win two consecutive UEL games.

Ahead of the game, Son Heung-min did not recover in the end. Son Heung-min, who complained of injury in the last match against Caravac FK, tried to return to the match against Manchester United, but did not fully recover.

He was expected to return to the match against Ferencvaros, but he was unable to accompany Hungary in the end. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said ahead of Ferencz-Baroque match that Son remained in London for rehabilitation. The rest of the team and young players prepared for the expeditionSon Heung-min is recovering from his injury."

In addition to Son Heung-min, disciplinary target Radu Dragusin and Destiny Udogi, who needed rest, remained in England. Tottenham prepared for an away trip to Hungary by including young players growing up through the remaining first-team squad and youth academy.

Postecoglou chose an unconventional rotation to give young players a chance. Based on the 4-3-3 formation, Mikey Moore, Will Rankshire and Timo Werner were in charge of the attack. Lucas Beribal, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr were deployed in the midfield. Archie Gray, Ben Davies, Christian Romero and Pedro Porro made up the defense. Guglielmo Vicario kept the goal unchanged.

Among field players, only Bissouma, Romero, and Porro are the main resources this season. The remaining seven seats gave opportunities to rotation players or young players. Coach Postecoglou's determination to make sure to rotate the rotation and arrange the physical strength of the main players in the match against Ferenc Barlow is felt.

Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Mickey van der Penn will all be on the bench waiting to play. If you think about it after the starting list was revealed, chances are high that Son Heung-min would not have started even if he quickly recovered from his injury and accompanied him on an away trip to Hungary.

This is because Tottenham need to improve their performance in the league right away. Postecoglou and Tottenham fans will be hoping Son Heung-min can play again in Brighton away on the 7th.

South Korean soccer fans are feeling ambivalent about the timing of Son Heung-min's return from injury. In order for Son Heung-min to perform well this season, it is important to return as soon as possible and play more games, but if he returns from the match against Brighton, he will have to travel long distances again for the A match in October.

Son Heung-min, who has already been overworked since the beginning of the season and has a muscle strain, has to play a murderous schedule between Jordan and South Korea as soon as he recovers.

First of all, Hong Myung-bo, the coach of the South Korean national team, said, "We will not force Son Heung-min to deploy, and we have prepared a plan B accordingly."
