Tottenham, where Son Heung-min was absent, lost to Wolverhampton. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou explained that he did not overuse himself with the upcoming Europa League quarter-final second leg in mind.
Football London, England reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min and Wilson O'Dowbert were not included in the Tottenham roster ahead of the match against Wolverhampton in the English Premier League (EPL).
In a pre-match press conference, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said Son Heung-min had a minor bruise on his foot. He said he restricted his participation as a precaution to prevent his injury from worsening.
Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min has a bruise on his foot, and we are taking a cautious approach", he explained.
As for Wilson O'Doubert, who was absent along with Son Heung-min, he added that `We are currently adjusting the playing time, and both players will be available for Thursday's game.'
Tottenham, coached by Enze Postecoglou, is set to play the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Eintracht Frankfurt on the 18th. Son Heung-min's exclusion from the list was a big shock, but it also seems to be a choice for the more important game, the Europa League.
Referring to the fierce match against Frankfurt, manager Enze Postecoglou insisted that "it was a physically energy-consuming match, and the away game at Wolverhampton is not easy" and "the goal is to manage the playing time of some players, while at the same time regaining the sense of play for others.'
He continued "As Thursday's game could go to extra time, we carried out the rotation considering both the physical arrangement and preparation."
