As Son Heung-min continues to be unable to play due to injury, some Tottenham fans are concerned that he may be gradually excluded from the starting lineup. It is pointed out that Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is trying to replace Son Heung-min, who has been sluggish this season, with Matisse Tell, a long-term replacement.
Son Heung-min did not play in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. Tottenham, without Son Heung-min, advanced to the semifinals of the Europa League. Still, Son Heung-min has not recovered from his injury and his return schedule is not clear.
Hotspur HQ, which reported the news of Tottenham, raised the question on the 21st (Korea time) 'Wasn't Postecoglou intentionally excluding Son Heung-min?'
Son Heung-min's absence as a starter against Wolverhampton in the league game before the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals began was considered a choice to give prospect Matistel a chance. Son Heung-min, who took a break, was widely expected to play in the second round of the quarterfinals. But even in the tournament, Postecoglou's choice was Tel.
This season, Son Heung-min played as a starter for the team even though he had a small injury. In fact, Postecoglou actively used Son Heung-min in every important game. However, the media predicted that this injury could be fatal to Son Heung-min's competition to become a starting player.

While rumors of a transfer related to Son Heung-min continue to pour out, Hotspur HQ has even posted an overall sluggish performance this season, raising the question of whether Tottenham intends to gradually exclude Son from the starting lineup.
Regardless of Tottenham's intention, Son Heung-min needs a break now.
Ahead of the league game against Nottingham Forest, Postecoglou said: `I don't know exactly, but Son has been feeling uncomfortable for quite a long time, and his condition is getting worse in the end"I decided it was the right time to give a break."
However, this is a regrettable part. If I had to manage Son Heung-min for the Europa League, I should have given him a break earlier. With victory in the English Premier League (EPL) virtually meaningless, Son could be given enough rest in some league games.
Son Heung-min's performance, who played with injuries, has dropped noticeably recently. This raises speculation that Matistel will be given ample opportunity in the future. Tel will take over the left flank striker position.
Hotspur HQ criticized Coach Postecoglou for his lack of player management if Son Heung-min had been injured for a long time. During that period, he had to give a chance to a young player like Matistel. He explained that he should have focused on restoring Tel's performance rather than injured Son Heung-min.
He also feared that Son Heung-min's poor performance at the end of the season could lead to a bad choice to leave the team in the end. As fans' perceptions deteriorate, he warned that rumors of a transfer will inevitably gain strength.
