The British media Independent hinted on the 26th (Korean time) 'Postecoglou could put Timo Werner in place of Son Heung-min. Postecoglou continues to work to restore Werner's confidence, but he has admitted that he still needs a lot,' the report said.
Tottenham will play Crystal Palace in an away match in the English Premier League (EPL) from 2024 to 2025 at Selhurst Park in London on the 27th. Tottenham had four wins, one draw and three losses (13 points) in their opening eight matches.
A large variable occurred again. Son Heung-min is out of injury. "All the players who played in the Europa League against Alkmaar are fine," Postecoglou said at an official press conference on the 25th. I'm a little tired, but there are no injured players. However, Son's physical condition is not 100 percent. Team training will not be held on the 25th. He can't play in weekend games either. We have to wait and see how it progresses from now on."
Son Heung-min was injured in a Europa League match against Karabakh FK on the 27th of last month. He started, but was replaced in the 23rd minute of the second half with an abnormality in his right thigh. After the game, both Son Heung-min and Postecoglou said it was not a big problem. The situation was not like that. Son Heung-min failed to play against Manchester United, Ferencvaros and Brighton. He couldn't even join 'Hong Myung-bo'. Son Heung-min was excluded from Group B's 3rd to 4th rounds of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup held in October. Korea's A national team coach Hong Myung-bo did not call Son Heung-min to protect his players. Son focused on his recovery.

The Independent said, `If Son Heung-min does not recover, Werner can start. But Werner said he has yet to score a goal this season.
Postecoglou said "We are constantly talking to Werner. Everyone knows that he lacks confidence at the moment. I'm supporting him as much as I can to get out of here. It is our role to support what he needs."
