Son Heung-min is not expected to be able to appear in the upcoming league game.

Global sports media The Athletic reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min cannot play in the match between Tottenham and Brighton'

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said Son was unlikely to play against Brighton. Destiny Udoghi is expected to play.



Tottenham is set to play the seventh round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season against Brighton at Amex Stadium in Brighton, England, on the 7th.

Son Heung-min had left the ground earlier in the Europa League match against Karabakh FK, asking for a replacement due to a hamstring injury during the match. At that time, both Son Heung-min and coach Enze Postecoglou said after the game that it was not a big problem, so attention was paid to the extent of Son's injury.



Before the match against Manchester United, Postecoglou also said, `Everything is fine except for Son Heung-min. I don't think Son Heung-min is that bad. I'll see how he goes in training and I'll make a decision thereSon Heung-min's name was excluded from both the previous match against Manchester United and Ferenc Barlow, raising concerns about his injury.

It was the first time since the league game against Leeds in November 2022 that Son Heung-min was excluded from Tottenham's starting list due to injuries other than physical management or rotation, and a fractured orbital injury prevented him from playing. In about a year and 10 months, Son Heung-min watched the team's important games without the list, which was not a substitute resource.

Even after two games, Son Heung-min's condition seems to be difficult to play normally until the match against Brighton. Coach Postecoglou said he is not yet at the level of playing Son Heung-min's condition.

Postecoglou said of Son in a pre-press conference against Brighton that Son is unlikely to play. I'm working hard (to come back), but I'm not good enough to play this game,' he said, expressing a negative view on Son's condition.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min was also excluded from the call-up list for the South Korean national team for the A-match in October due to his injury. The Korea Football Association said, `Son Heung-min was initially selected, but he was called off because he needed a break due to a left thigh injury suffered by his team.'
