Tottenham made a surprise announcement on the 2nd (Korean time) when Son Heung-min returned and greeted him with a bright expression "Good Morning" before training. Coach Enze Postecoglou said on the 1st that Son Heung-min completed training today. If I can finish training tomorrow, it will be fine. At the moment, there is a possibility that he will play at the weekend."
Tottenham will play Aston Villa in the 10th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 11 p.m. on the 3rd. Son Heung-min is an Aston Villa player. He has six goals and three assists against Aston Villa. On March 10, the most recent meeting, he also scored one goal and two assists, leading his team to a 4-0 victory.
In the end, Postecoglou was right. There was a lot of controversy over whether Son Heung-min would return.
Postecoglou predicted Son's return. Ahead of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) round of 16 against Manchester City on the 31st of last month, he said, `Son Heung-min has almost recovered, but from our perspective, the goal is to play in the weekend game. I'm sure I'll be able to play then." The weekend game is against Aston Villa.

"Son Heung-min is currently uncertain to play in the match against Aston Villa due to a Grade 2 thigh injury," Dr. Brar said in a statement on the `Tottenham News" adding that Son, who missed the match against Manchester City, may have to undergo a final physical test to play again. According to Dr. Brar's claim, Son Heung-min's injury is estimated to be level 2 of the four stages of thigh sprain. When you return to training, you must undergo partial training in controlled situations, not normal training.
Dr. Brar said "It's unclear for sure whether he will compete at the weekend. The last physical test may be necessary," he reiterated. A Ph.D. in physical therapy, brar is a strength and conditioning expert, athletic and epidemiological coach, and sports scientist, a distinguished expert in the UK.
Son Heung-min sat down with a hamstring injury in the Europa League (UEL) against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) on Sept. 26. He then missed Tottenham's three games. He also failed to join the A-match.

However, he was not in normal condition. Son Heung-min was absent again in the ninth round of the EPL against Crystal Palace on the 27th following the match against UEL AZ Alkmaar (the Netherlands) on the 25th of last month. Tottenham won 1-0 against Alkmaar but lost 0-1 to Palace.
Ahead of the match against Alkmaar, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min felt a little pain after last weekend's match. I'm trying to watch the situation without playing in the game." In a press conference before the match against Palace, Son Heung-min has not fully recovered yet. I don't think I'm in 100% condition. It seems that it will be difficult to play in the weekend game as well."
And ahead of the Man City match, Son Heung-min's return raised expectations. Director Postecoglou's words were 'Answer'.

Postecoglou has led 47 EPL matches. Son Heung-min played 41 games together and missed six. The winning rate of Son Heung-min's game is 54%. When absent, it drops to 33%. The number of points earned per game is also two, which is higher than one point when there is no point. The score is the same as two goals, but the number of shots is 16 to 15, which is more when Son Heung-min is on the ground.
Tottenham ranked 10th with 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses). If you win, you can reach the 7th place. Aston Villa, ranked fifth with 18 points (5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss), are aiming for the third place.
