Tonnum will play against AS Roma in Game 5 of the 2024-2025 Europa League League Phase at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 5 a.m. on the 29th.
Tottenham is seventh with three wins and one loss until Game 4. Up to 8th place, they will go straight to the finals tournament. AS Roma are ranked 20th with one win, two draws and one loss.
It is an important game that can provide a bridgehead for securing at least 8th place.
But the schedule is tight.
Tottenham will face the Europa League after taking a four-day break after the Premier League match against Manchester City (4-0 wins) on the 24th.
After that, on December 1st, the match against Fulham in the Premier League will come up. It is a tremendous performance until the match against Bournemouth on the 6th and the match against Chelsea on the 9th.
It is essential to manage the physical strength of the main players.
In particular, Captain Son Heung-min has recently emerged as a special management target. He was injured early in the season and returned at a fairly early point, because he missed two weeks again as the injury recurred in one game.
Son Heung-min was injured 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.
