Son Heung-min's injury seems more serious than expected. Recovery is particularly slow due to the injury of the foot, so it is impossible to predict the timing of his return.
In order for Tottenham to win the UEFA Europa League, Son Heung-min needs to return. However, at this rate, we may have to play the rest of the schedule without Son Heung-min. There is a concern about the season out.
Son Heung-min missed the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals between Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt on the 18th.
It was a difficult game as it was an away match in Germany, and if it was defeated, Tottenham's fate as well as coach Enze Postecoglou's fate could end this season.
Fortunately, the players showed a high level of concentration and Tottenham beat Frankfurt 1-0 to advance to the semifinals.
Tottenham, which led by Dominic Solanke's goal in the 43rd minute of the first half, blocked the opponent's attack in the second half with an ironclad defensive tactic that was not like Tottenham's.
This marks Tottenham's first semi-final against Europe in six years. As there were many criticisms of Postecoglou, this achievement deserves praise.
To achieve the great feat of winning, the health care of the team is the top priority.
Son Heung-min is also scheduled to miss the match against Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League (EPL) on the 22nd.
Tottenham Hotspur News quoted sports medicine expert Dr. Rizpal Brar as saying Son Heung-min is suffering from a tricky foot injury.
"The foot area is always tricky because of its complex structure and heavy burden during soccer," Dr. Brar said. "You have to check the condition every day while watching the recovery process. How you respond to treatment and activity will determine whether you will return."

Postecoglou said he could not confirm when Son Heung-min would return from injury.
Ahead of the match against Nottingham Forest, Postecoglou said Son Heung-min will still be absent. He had been having this foot problem for a while, and decided it was the right time to give him time to recover"I don't know exactly when I'll be back. Now is the time to let it rest, because the condition has worsened rather than improved over time."
Son Heung-min's injury is a big concern ahead of the UEFA Europa League semifinal match scheduled for the 2nd of next month. Postecoglou is unsure of the timing of Son's return, suggesting he may not return soon.
This supports the words of John Wenham, who argued that Son Heung-min's injury could be more serious than initially expected.
Postecoglou said, `We think Son needs time. Son Heung-min is a player of the nature who always wants to train, but he will try to take a few days off completely," he said. "After that, I will judge by looking at the reaction."
Meanwhile, it is also unclear whether veteran James Madison, who leads the team with Son Heung-min, will play. Maddison was replaced in the first half due to injury in the second Europa League match against Frankfurt.
Postecoglou said Madison is also uncertain to play against Nottingham Forest. However, it does not appear to be a fatal injury.
Among Tottenham's key players, only Son Heung-min and Radu Dragusin are suffering from injuries. It's good news that Dejan Klusevski and Kevin Danso are back.
Son Heung-min's recovery from injury is the most important moment as Tottenham desperately needs to win the UEFA Europa League to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.
