Tottenham's captain Son Heung-min will also miss the first leg of the Europa League semifinals of the 2024-2025 season against Norway's strongest Bodhi/Glimt at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 2nd (Korea time). Coach Enze Postecoglou announced Son Heung-min's absence at an official press conference against Bodo on the 30th.
Asked whether Son Heung-min will play or not, he said, `I can't do it. He will not play in tomorrow night's game (local time). 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 appear even in public training in the first 15 minutes ahead of the match. 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. Including the game, he has missed five consecutive games.
Similar to Harry Kane six years ago. Tottenham advanced to the final of the European Champions League in the 2018-2019 season, but had to settle for second place due to Liverpool's wall. The process of advancing to the finals was a drama.
Kane was out of power with a left ankle injury in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Manchester City. It was so grim that the prospect of 'season out' came out. In the match against Manchester City, Son Heung-min scored three goals in the first and second games, leading him to the semifinals.

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."
However, Son Heung-min is not in the first round of the semifinals either. The second leg of the semifinal match between Tottenham and Bohd will be held a week later on the 9th. At this rate, we cannot guarantee Son Heung-min's return.
Tottenham will face the Manchester United-Atlantic Bilbao winner in the final match on May 22 at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. Until then, there is more time, so a perfect recovery seems possible.
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.
