Son Heung-min has been preoccupied with rehabilitation for a while due to a foot injury. He was injured in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Frankfurt (Germany) on 11 April when he was tackled by opposing striker Jean Matteo Bahoya. He was completely excluded from the EPL away match against Wolverhampton two days later. At the time, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min's foot was shocked. I'm on the lookout. He said he will be fine during the away game in the Europa League. However, Son Heung-min also failed to play in the second round of the quarterfinals in Frankfurt on April 18. He stayed in England instead of away to focus on recovering from his foot injury.

The return was not easy. Son Heung-min did not play in the league games against Nottingham and Liverpool. Ahead of the match against Nottingham, Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min has been having foot problems for a while. I need time to get over it. Nor will Nottingham be able to come forward. It's not clear. He's been dealing with the problem for a while. The situation has not improved for us. Rather, it was getting worse. I think rest will be more important than anything else."




Son Heung-min also watched from a distance the first leg of the Europa League semifinals against Bowdo/Glimt (Norway). Postecoglou is still out of the team although he is in training. However, it is steadily developing. I hope I can return soon." Son Heung-min was also excluded from the league match against West Ham and the second leg of the semifinal against Bodo/Glimt. However, Postecoglou said in a pre-match press conference against Bohd/Glimt that "he is working hard. I'm getting better, and I have a chance to play in weekend games, but I haven't done team training yet. But it's getting better. I'll see what happens."

Son Heung-min's return is expected to be a big boost for Tottenham. Tottenham has James Maddison, Lucas Beribal and Radu Dragusin left due to injuries. Tottenham is sluggish in the league, but they have advanced to the Europa League final. Manchester United will play the final match at 4 a.m. on the 22nd at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. Tottenham has not reached the top in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. It is an opportunity to overcome the dishonor of the 'military affairs' Son Heung-min can also win his first professional career championship.
