Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur) has finally returned to the starting list.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou included Son Heung-min in the 37th round of the 2024-2025 Premier League against Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 17th (Korea time). Son Heung-min, who missed seven consecutive matches since the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th of last month, appeared as a substitute in the second half against Crystal Palace on the 11th. He returned to the starting list for the first time in about a month.
Tottenham put Son Heung-min in front of the matchday poster released a day before the match against Aston Villa. Coach Postecoglou also said at a press conference against Aston Villa on the 15th, `We'll see whether he starts or not, but Son Heung-min will definitely play against Aston Villa.' He showed good performance in the game a few days ago, and he had no problems with his feet. He trained well, so it is right to increase his playing time. He stressed that he could play as a starter and even if not, he would play at least half of the game.

The match against Aston Villa is a preparatory stage to the end. Tottenham will play the Europa League final against Manchester United at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd. The role of Son Heung-min, the captain of the single-round match for the title, is bound to be absolute. This is all the more so for Tottenham, where Dejan Kulusevski is out of power after Lucas Beribal and James Madison.
Son Heung-min will be placed under Matistel, who is one-top against Aston Villa. Wilson O'Dober and Mikey Moore will play on the left and right sides, while Archie Gray and Papesar will play in the midfield. Sergio Reguilon, Ben Davies, Kevin Danjo and Jed Spence make up the back four, and Antonin Kinski will defend the goal.
