Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou announced Son Heung-min's absence ahead of the final match against Brighton in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season on the 25th. As Christian Romero is expected to be absent, Tottenham's two key players will be excluded from the final game. Their absence is due to injuries.
Postecoglou said `some players are going to be out,' adding `Romero has been suffering from a toe injury for quite some time, so he will rest, and Son Heung-min will probably be out as his foot injury still hasn't recovered.'
In addition to Son Heung-min and Romero, existing injury lists Dejan Klusevski, James Maddison, Lucas Beribal and Radu Dragusin are still out.
"Both players made great efforts to play in the final," Postecoglou said. Bissouma is currently 50-50 due to bruises during the game. The rest of the players are physically fine."
Tottenham's squad won the UEFA Europa League final against Manchester United on the 22nd. He is still in a state of joy of winning the tournament. There is a high possibility that he will not focus on the match against Brighton, which is virtually meaningless, but Postecoglou emphasized that he will focus on the match against Brighton in good condition.
"I really think that the achievements that have been achieved should be celebrated properly, and that was my message to the players"It is important to make this experience as memorable as possible so that the motivation is when players once again have to move toward a high goal."
"I'm sure the players have had a really good time over the past few days, but they're all well prepared, and they'll be able to play well tomorrow."," he added.
