British media 'Football London' reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Tottenham ace Son Heung-min recently returned from an injury and was included in the Korean national team ahead of the A-match break in November'
Football London is worried that Spurs fans will lose Son ahead of a busy game schedule starting in late November. He would hope that Son Heung-min's playing time would be limited in the A-match.
Son Heung-min already hurriedly returned to the game last month, but he felt pain again and rested for two weeks.
Son Heung-min returned to the match against Aston Villa in the 10th round of the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 3rd. Son Heung-min scored one assist and ran for 56 minutes to help the team win 4-1.
Son Heung-min was hurt at home against Karabakh FK in the first round of the Europa League on September 27. In the 26th minute of the second half, when he complained of thigh pain, he collapsed.
Since then, he has been excluded from the away match at Manchester United in the sixth round of the Premier League, the away match at Ferencvaros in the second round of the Europa League, and the away match at Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League. He was not also called up for the third Asian qualifying team for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup.
Son Heung-min returned to the match against West Ham in the eighth round of the Premier League on the 19th. Son Heung-min was involved in three goals and led the way to a 4-1 victory, but was replaced in 70 minutes. After the game, I felt pain again and did not participate in training.
Since then, he has missed the Europa League AZ Alkmaar and the Premier League's ninth round against Crystal Palace. He seemed likely to return to the match against Manchester City in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup, but he did not come out again.
Son Heung-min returned to the game for the first time in about two weeks. Son Heung-min was replaced 11 minutes into the second half.
Postecoglou seems to have managed Son extremely conservatively as he was sick again just after the last West Ham match.
Football London said: "'Son Heung-min looked rather flustered when Postecoglou decided to replace him early in the second half. He looked a little frustrated after being replaced. Postecoglou clearly didn't want to overdo a star player who returned from injury. His decision turned out to be right as Tottenham won 4-1.

It is an expedition to Kuwait and Palestine. Spurs fans will hope Son's playing time will be limited in the A-match because they do not want to lose Son ahead of a busy game schedule that starts at the end of November.
Football London also introduced Hong Myung-bo's interview.
Football London expressed interest, saying, `Coach Hong Myung-bo was asked at a press conference how he plans to use Son Heung-min.
Coach Hong said, `Son Heung-min returned to the pitch, but there are two games left before the national team is called up. "It's important how much more time we'll play in the future." "The most important thing is Son Heung-min's condition. He has a basic principle that he should protect (the players). We will closely observe the remaining two games."
