Son Heung-min did not accompany him on the Norwegian expedition again. Tottenham will play the second leg of the Europa League semifinals at 4 a.m. on the 9th (Korea time) at Aspmira Stadium in Norlan Bodo, Norway, in 2024-2025 season.
Coach Enze Postecoglou officially announced Son Heung-min's absence at an official press conference before the match against Borda. He said, `It is disappointing for Son Heung-min. He's trying really hard, and he's getting better. There is a possibility that he may participate in weekend games, but he has not joined the team training yet. We're making progress, so we'll see what happens."
Son Heung-min has been out of the team due to a foot injury since his last appearance in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th of last month. He missed six consecutive games, starting with the 32nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Wolverhampton on the 13th of last month.
It's only one step away from advancing to the finals. Tottenham won 3-1 in the first leg of the semifinals against Bodo on the 2nd. Even if they lost within one goal in the second game, they dominated the position that they maintained enough to advance to the finals.

Therefore, it is highly likely that he will not play an away game but will return to action through the 36th round of the EPL against Crystal Palace on the 11th. This is the picture that Postecoglou has in mind.
There is a gap with Harry Kane, who lifted his first trophy since his professional debut at Bayern Munich this season. Six years ago, Tottenham advanced to the final of the European Champions League (UCL). 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. Lucas Moura produced a miracle in the semifinals against Ajax (the Netherlands).
Moura completed a 'theatrical hat trick' just before the end in the second leg of the semifinals, leading Tottenham to its first UCL final. Kane returned from the final. There was a lot of controversy over whether to start or not.
Kane started but failed to lift the trophy. He had to settle for second place because he was blocked by Liverpool's wall.

Postecoglou said of Son Heung-min and Madison, who were out for the season due to knee injuries, `It is no exaggeration to say that we have been practicing well. We've always had a significant number of leaders out with injuries this season. I don't know how many arguments there were"It was a challenge, but for some players, including Porro, Bentancourt, Bissouma and Solanke, it enabled growth."
If Son Heung-min returns to the match against Crystal Palace, he can boost his senses in two games under the assumption that Tottenham will advance to the finals. After the match against Crystal Palace, the Aston Villa match, which has been rescheduled on the 17th, is waiting.
Son Heung-min's time is approaching again. He is also desperate for Tottenham to go to the Europa League final.
