Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham), who successfully returned from injury through the match against West Ham, will miss the European club competition in China, local media predicted.

Sports media 'Sports Mall' predicted on the 22nd (Korea time) that Son Heung-min will be excluded from the third home game of the European Europa League (UEL) League phase in 2024-2025 season against AZ Alkmaar (the Netherlands) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 25th.

The media shed light on Son Heung-min's performance in scoring against West Ham on the weekend, but predicted that as he has just returned from injury, he may give a break to protect against Crystal Palace next weekend.



'Sportsmall' expected Timo Werner, Hishalisson and Mikey Moore, who are underappointed in the league, to build a three-top. Lucas Beribal, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr are expected to make the three-middle, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies and Destiny Udogi are in charge of the four-back, and Guglielmo Gianluigi is expected to defend the goal.

Tottenham (13), which beat West Ham 4-1 to move up to seventh with Son Heung-min's additional goal, is aiming for a consecutive victory against a relegation team that has only three draws and five losses in eight games without winning. Tottenham has defeated Karabakh and Ferencvaros in a row in the Europa League and has won two games. He is third in the league phase. The Europa League schedule is relatively relaxed compared to the league.



But Son finished the match against West Ham with a 4-1 win, saying `Sadly, I'm 32 years old,' adding that every game is precious. As it is a home game without movement, chances are high that Son Heung-min will be included in the starting or replacement entry.

Son Heung-min has scored three goals and two assists in eight matches, including the Cup this season. Through the match against West Ham, Tottenham scored 250 offensive points (165 goals, 85 assists). In the Premier League, he scored 187 offensive points (123 goals and 64 assists), beating Alan Shearer (184), who scored the most points in the Premier League. Wayne Rooney, who spent his prime at Manchester United, will rank first in this category with 276 (183 goals and 93 assists).
