Tottenham will play the first leg of the Europa League semifinals in 2024-2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 2nd (Korea time). Coach Enze Postecoglou held an official press conference before Wednesday.
It signaled Son Heung-min's absence. Asked whether Son Heung-min will play or not, he said, `I can't do it. I won't play in tomorrow night's game. I'm training, but I'm still out of the team. However, it is steadily improving, and we hope to be able to return soon." Son Heung-min did not show up even in the first 15 minutes of public training.
He has been confirmed to miss five consecutive games. He has been out of power since his last appearance in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th of last month.
Postecoglou said after the match against Wolverhampton on the 13th of last month, "(Son Heung-min slightly stabbed his foot). I'm trying to be careful." And on the 20th, it was said that it was a simple injury, raising concerns.
He said, `Son Heung-min has been carrying a foot injury for quite some time. Now is also the right time to recover from the problem. I decided that it was better to give me time to rest."
Asked about Son Heung-min's injury period, he said, `I'm not sure exactly. At present, it was not a level that did not improve, but rather worsened. For this type of injury, rest is one of the most important treatments. "That's why I decided to give him time. Son Heung-min always puts everything into training, so I think he'll have to rest for a few days and see his condition," he stressed.

Shortly after the match against Liverpool, England "BBC"The first leg is close. Son Heung-min will try hard. If you're not ready to play in the first game, I think you'll be able to play in the second game."

Tottenham is aiming to escape from the spectatorship for the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European competition, he is dreaming of becoming the top in 41 years after winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.
