Son Heung-min, the “captain” of Tottenham Hotspur of the English professional football Premier League (EPL), who returned from a hamstring injury and scored a comeback goal, will miss the UEFA Europa League (UEL) due to mild pain.
Tottenham will play Alkmaar (the Netherlands) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 25th (Korea time) in the third UEL game of the 2024-2025 season.
Tottenham, which beat Karabakh (Azerbaijan) 3-0 in the first round and Ferencvaros (Hungary) 2-1 in the second round, will try to win three consecutive games.
Tottenham manager Anji Postecoglou said at a press conference held on the 24th local time, “Son Heung-min will take a rest against Alkmaar as he feels a little pain after the match against West Ham United.”
However, it did not disclose the pain area.
Son Heung-min was replaced after injuring his hamstring while playing the first game of the UEL against Karabakh on the 27th of last month and missed Tottenham’s three official games. 먹튀검증
The third and fourth Asian qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. were also not called up in October against Jordan and Iraq.
Son Heung-min, who focused on treatment, returned to the eighth round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season against West Ham on the 19th and showed off his robustness with a return goal.
However, he decided to rest due to mild pain ahead of the match against Alkmaar during the week.
After the match against Alkmaar, Tottenham will have an away match against Crystal Palace at 11 p.m. on Saturday. They will then play Manchester City in the round of 16 strongest teams at the League Cup on Sunday.
