British media are predicting Son Heung-min 32, Tottenham’s bench start.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Enzi Postecoglou said he would watch Son Heung-min’s condition until just before the match against Manchester United.

Tottenham will face Manchester United in the sixth round of the 2024-2025 Premier League at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, at 0:30 a.m. on the 30th. Both teams have seven points 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Whether Tottenham’s captain Son Heung-min will play or not is uncertain. In the first UEFA Europa League phase match against Karabakh on Sunday, he collapsed while playing due to pain in the back of his thigh.

At the time, Son complained of discomfort in his thighs midway through the second half and collapsed around 26 minutes into the second half to ask for a replacement. He walked out on his own, but he is suspected of having a hamstring injury. Son reportedly felt pain after touching the same part in the match against Brentford earlier.
Although he is not considered to be seriously injured, Postecoglou told a press conference after the match, I didn’t talk to him separately. However, he said he felt a bit tired. I haven’t talked to the players or medical staff yet.

Tottenham fans cannot hide their concerns saying Son needs to rest. Fans expressed their concern through social media, saying, He is playing too much in all competitions, We need to find a way to give him more rest, and He needs to rest properly.

Some fans expressed their extreme view that Son should retire from the national team. Son also showed signs of discomfort in his thighs in the recent match against Brentford, but is not resting properly as he is an important figure in the team.

On the 27th, Tottenham’s club announced on its official channel, Postecoglou will consider whether Son Heung-min will play in the away match of Manchester United until just before the match. Our captain, who showed discomfort when he was replaced in this match, will continue to be evaluated for his physical condition through training ahead of the away match at Old Trafford.
Son has been dealing with a lot of physical burden as he has been working for both the club and the national team in recent years, which is worrisome. British media outlet Kurt Offside reported, Tottenham is anxious about the possibility of Son’s injury ahead of the match against Manchester United. Son’s injury could be a big blow to Postecoglou’s idea.

Postecoglou also admitted Son Heung-min’s excessive participation. I wanted to reduce Son’s playing time early in the season, but Son had to play more games as Hishalisson and Dominic Solanke were injured. He also plays for the national team, he said in a press conference before the match against Manchester United. We tried to control Son’s playing time by recruiting Solanke and Odobert and extending Timo Werner’s loan.

He always wants to play in games. But we need to make careful decisions. Excessive participation in modern soccer is not sustainable. We need to protect our players, he said, stressing the need to manage his participation.
Postecoglou plans to monitor Son’s condition until right before the match. All players are fine except for Son. He wants to train tomorrow. I will decide whether to play or not after checking his training status, he said.

Local media in the U.K. do not expect Son to play as a starting player in the match against Manchester United. Whether Son will play or not depends on his hamstring. It would be better to give him a break in the long run, said Alasdair Gold, a reporter for Football London.

Tottenham’s expected starting lineup, selected by reporter Gold, was Brennan Johnson-Dominic Solanke-Dejan Kulusevski, James Madison-Rodrigo Bentancur-Pape Sarr, Destiny Udogi-Mickey van der Ben-Christian Romero-Pedro, 토토사이트 추천 and the goalkeeper was Guglielmo Vicario.

Gold stressed the need for Son to rest, saying, Son Heung-min’s fast speed and breakthrough are key, and the hamstring problem could worsen.
The Evening Standard had a similar opinion, predicting that the starting lineup was the same, but the formation was slightly different. The Gold Reporter predicted 4-3-3, and the Evening Standard predicted 4-2-3-1.

On the other hand, the possibility cannot be ruled out that Son will start again. If he is in a condition where he can play a little bit, he should start, said Lee Wilmott, a reporter for Football London. This is more of a personal wish than an objective judgment.
