Captain Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) is expected to play despite his poor condition. British media predicted that Son Heung-min will start in the upcoming match against Manchester United.

Tottenham will face Manchester United in the sixth round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 30th (Korea time). Son Heung-min’s participation is uncertain. Earlier on the 27th, Son Heung-min was replaced in the 26th minute of the second half against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) in the Europa League. No exact diagnosis was made regarding Son’s injury.

However, many media outlets expected Son to play as a starting player. 90MIN, a British football specialist, said on Monday, “It is uncertain whether Son will be heading to Old Trafford. However, if he is in a good condition at all, he will be able to play,” adding, “No Tottenham player has scored more than Son’s two goals, four big chances and 13 overall chances this season.” The European soccer statistics website Huscoordcom also predicted that Son will play as a starting player and form a three-top team with Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson.

Some argue that Son, who plays full-time in almost every game, needs rest due to his desperate efforts to get back and forth between the national team and his team. On top of that, he is expected to suffer from a hamstring injury. However, he cannot rest as he pleases. It is truly the fate of an ace player.

“If Son is in good condition, he will start as a left winger. However, if he is not prepared, he can be replaced by Timo Werner,” said Hotspur HQ, which mainly delivers news on Tottenham.

Tottenham needs to win the match against Manchester United. This season, Tottenham is in the 10th place in the league with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses (10 points), making even a shaky start. Its opponent Manchester United also has 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses (10 points), but Tottenham was in a higher position ahead of the gap. Manchester United is ranked 11th. If Tottenham wins the match against Manchester United, it can lay the groundwork for chasing the top ranks, but if it loses, it will have to worry about falling into the bottom ranks. If Son Heung-min’s injury is not serious, he has no choice but to use it.메이저사이트

90MIN said, “Tottenham and Manchester United are in the middle of the league, so I’m a bit anxious. Both teams need to win.”

Tottenham was slightly inferior to Manchester United in their last five matches by posting one win, two draws and two losses. However, Tottenham had one win and one draw in two matches last season. After winning 2-0 against Manchester United in August last year, the team tied 2-2 in January this year.
