South Korean soccer star Son Heung-min took a break from his team Tottenham (England) for the second consecutive game in the aftermath of a hamstring (muscle behind his thigh).
Son Heung-min prefers to play even if he is tired or has major or minor injuries.
Son Heung-min was diagnosed with an orbital fracture during a collision during a UEFA Champions League (UCL) match in early November 2022, ahead of the FIFA Qatar World Cup.
Since then, Son Heung-min has never missed his team due to injury until last season.
I struggled with sports hernia throughout the 2022-2023 season, but I had surgery after enduring it until the end of the season.
Son Heung-min is missing the last two games in a row.
Son Heung-min left the ground after feeling abnormal in his physical condition after 71 minutes in a Europa League home game against Garabakh (Azerbaijan) on the 27th of last month.
Son Heung-min, who failed to make the roster for the away match against Manchester United immediately afterwards, will also miss the away match of the Europa League against Ferencvaros (Hungary) scheduled for the 4th.
Son Heung-min remains in London, England, and is rehabilitating, coach Anji Postecoglou said in an official appearance, while Tottenham’s squad moved to Budapest, a suitable place, on the 2nd. In other words, he is internally classified as an “injured person.”
Son’s injury does not appear to be serious. Postecoglou said in a press conference after the scene of Son’s suspected injury came out, “I don’t think his condition is that bad.”
Following the last two games, if you take a good rest until the A-match break in October and manage the injured area, you will be able to return to the ground in good health.
However, Coach Hong Myung-bo, who needs Son Heung-min as a key offensive resource for the national team, is not happy with the sad news of his possible departure.
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who took the helm in July, led the national team to one win and one draw. He tied with Palestine without a goal on June 5 and defeated Oman 3-1 on June 10.
Son Heung-min was the player who made Hong smile broadly with one goal and two assists against Oman.
Coach Hong, who knows the importance of Son Heung-min as a central point of the national team, put Son Heung-min on the list of players participating in the A-match in October, even though he was aware of the suspected injury.
In a press conference late last month, Hong said, “Of course, I told myself and the club that I am not in a situation where I can play right away. We have to wait and see whether Son will play,” but added, “I personally communicated with him whether he will play or not. He said he is improving little by little.”
“We will continue to communicate with the club, the players themselves, and the association and find a way for the players to do well without overdoing it,” he said, adding that he will decide by considering Son Heung-min’s physical condition as the top priority.
Coach Hong, who intends to save Son Heung-min’s body as much as possible heading into his mid-30s, also said he has prepared a “Plan B” in case Son Heung-min cannot join. 스포츠토토
If Son Heung-min takes a rest without being called up to the national team in the aftermath of this injury, Hong should fill the squad with another striker or midfielder who will be responsible for the second term.
Hong once mentioned players who play for more than 70 minutes in his team as one of the criteria for selection. If this standard is met, Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon), a high school student who has nine goals and five assists in his professional debut season, could be selected.
Yang Min-hyuk, who has recently slowed down the production trend of offensive points, is still playing a leading role in Gangwon FC’s offense, playing full time for two consecutive games.
