Shocking! Did Son Heungmin really break somewhere? Europa semifinal 1st round X, or even 2nd round I don't think I can guarantee it



He said, 'I'll be back soon', but he couldn't even resume training. Did he really get a serious injury in the out-of-season.

Tottenham Hotspur's 『Captain" Son Heung-min (33) did not show up for his team's training after all. Even two days before the important game, the fact that he couldn't come to the training ground means only one thing. This means that he will not be able to appear in the game in two days. Concerns have become a reality, and worse predictions await. Is Son really going to end like this.

Tottenham will play the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinals in 2024-2025 against Norway's Bohd/Glimt at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on May 2 (Korea time). It's Tottenham's only chance to restore their self-esteem. If you reach the final beyond the semifinals against Bodhu/Glimt and win, you will win a Champions League ticket next season.

This will at least make up for the drop to 16th place in the English Premier League (EPL). Manager Enze Postecoglou is therefore focusing all his efforts on the Europa League.

In the process, however, Son is completely sidelined. It started on April 13 against Wolverhampton in the 32nd round. Since league performance is meaningless anyway, it was considered to be excluded in terms of physical fitness arrangement. However, Son Heung-min's appearance has completely disappeared since then. He has been excluded from the starting lineup for the last four games in a row, including failing to appear in the second round of the Europa League quarterfinals.

Each time, Postecoglou says he has a minor injury to his foot" "Trying to return. My condition is getting better" "The condition is improving. I don't know about the first leg of the Europa League semifinals, but I'm going to play in the second leg" kept changing words.

In addition, there has been no clarification on exactly what kind of foot injury Son Heung-min is, the time it takes to treat and the expected timing of his return. It's too vague to call it a 'smoke operation' and has only increased anxiety. It was still ahead of the first leg of the semi-final against Vaud/Glimt.

British media Football London reported on the 30th that 'Postecoglou mentioned Son Heung-min's condition ahead of the match against Glimt. Speaking at a press conference in advance, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min will not play in the next match (the first round of the semifinals). I'm still away from the team, but I hope I'll be back soon." The core and captain of the team's history is absent, "Hoping to return soon." feels like a very cold answer.

Earlier in the day, Tottenham reporter Alesdare Gold Football London said Son Heung-min did not appear at Tottenham's training ground. The fact that even training did not come out means that the degree of injury was not in a 'light' state as Coach Postecoglou said. If so, Son Heung-min may not be able to play in the second leg of the semifinal match on the 9th.




If Tottenham reach the final in the absence of Son Heung-min, it is better. He can also buy time for recovery and help him win the championship. On the other hand, it would be the worst if Tottenham lost to Glimt and their dream of winning the Europa League went up in smoke. Second of all, Son Heung-min's disappointment may be blamed on Son Heung-min.

When will Son Heung-min return to the ground. Concerns are gradually growing that Son Heung-min may not be able to see him within this season.
