Enze Postecoglou says 'Chance', but the British media says 'Mental breakdown'.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) will miss the 'Guillotine Match' Son Heung-min did not accompany him on the away trip to Frankfurt, Germany, due to his foot injury.
Coach Postecoglou said on the 17th (Korean time), a day before the showdown, that Son Heung-min did not accompany him in the away game. He is the only player missing this time. I've had some foot problems for weeks, and I've been holding out well, but the pain has intensified in the last few days. "I tried training yesterday, but I wasn't in good shape. So we decided to leave him at home and focus on his recovery" he said.
And we decided to give time to find the best way to recover. All the other players are fine. The special news is that Kevin Danso participated in the training and was available. So in reality, only Son Heung-min was excluded."
Tottenham will play Frankfurt in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals in the 2024-2025 season at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany, at 4 a.m. on the 18th. Tottenham, which drew 1-1 in the first leg of the quarterfinals, has a heavy step. Only when they win the away game can they advance to the semifinals. To make matters worse, there is no Son Heung-min either. As soon as he was eliminated from the Europa League, Postecoglou's 'early replacement' is also being discussed.

England's 'Football London' revealed Tottenham's last expected best 11 on the same day. In the 4-3-3 formation, with Dominic Solanke at the one-top, Wilson Odover and Dejan Kulusevski set up in the left and right wing forward.
Football London' is 'Postecoglou has to decide which player to fill Son Heung-min's place. The conditions of Kulusevski, Hishalisson, and Odobert should also be checked. 'In the end, Odobert's physical condition is the key. If he is in good shape enough to start, he is likely to be on the left as a substitute for Son Heung-min. If not, Brennan Johnson or Matistel will take over for the position, he predicted.
James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Beribal were expected to breathe in the midfield. A combination of Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn, and centerbacks will operate on Subarine. Destiny Udoji and Pedro Porro were expected to be located at left and right wingbacks. The goal is a picture guarded by Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham have been moaning from injuries for months this season. Kulusevski and Son Heung-min continued to stay. But there was no 'iron' in the murderous schedule. After Kulusevski, Son Heung-min also had a problem. Kulusevski returned to action in the English Premier League (EPL) against Wolverhampton on the 13th.

Coach Postecoglou's future is also drawing keen attention. Asked about his future, he said, `I have no idea. There's a game tomorrow, and I don't have to think about it. I've never thought about what's important about those things."What's important is that this game is a huge opportunity for these players and this football club to take a step closer to what everyone is trying to achieve. Other than that, especially when it comes to me, there is no time to think," he stressed.
And "I don't care at all. I really don't care. There is no pressure, no anxiety. I think there is a golden opportunity to advance to the semifinals of a major tournament. Whatever happens the next day, we won't miss this opportunity.'
However, the reality is that the outlook is not bright.
