Son Heung-min's return is predicted to be the Europa League final. It's good news to be able to play in the final, but anxiety also follows. Normally, it can take a considerable amount of time to regain the sense of play after returning from injury. This is even more so as Son Heung-min is showing poor performance this season.
An unreasonable return could make Tottenham suffer another ordeal of losing the Champions League final in the 2018-2019 season. Harry Kane was similar to Son Heung-min at that time. After not playing for a long time due to injury, he only played in the final, and failed to prevent his team's defeat with poor performance. For this reason, there were many criticisms of Kane's hasty return.
Paul O'Keefe, a reporter familiar with Tottenham's news, recently predicted Son Heung-min's return from injury as the UEFA Europa League final. Tottenham currently have only one game left to reach the final. A draw away to Bohd/Glimt would allow them to reach the final. The probability of advancing is in Tottenham's favor, but it should not let go of the tension because it is a strong bo/glimt at home.
This Europa League win is important for Tottenham. Both the team and Son Heung-min are considered opportunities to end the long nightmare of no spectators. It is also a chance to end this gloomy season brightly. It is also the only key to ensuring coach Enze Postecoglou's future next season.
The problem is when Son Heung-min returns.
Son Heung-min has been absent since early last month due to a foot injury. Postecoglou showed a cautious attitude whenever asked about the extent of Son Heung-min's injury, and did not clarify the timing of his return.

Fortunately, good news came in. This is because if Son Heung-min advances to the Europa League final, he is expected to return.
Reporter O'Keefe said on his social network service, `From what I heard Son Heung-min will play in the final game.'
As much as the disappointment caused by James Maddison's injury was, if Tottenham advanced to the final and Son Heung-min returned, it could give the whole team a huge boost.
However, this may not be viewed positively. Son Heung-min's excessive participation may rather hinder the team's victory. Tottenham should think of the nightmare of finishing second in the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-2019 season. Tottenham, which struggled to reach the final with a series of dramatic matches in the tournament at the time, was beaten weakly by Liverpool with the championship just around the corner.
Kane, who recovered from injury but did not recover his performance, was cited as the main cause of the defeat. Only one shot was taken throughout the game.
The BBC said `Pochettino's gamble on Kane was less than expected"He had no effect on the game."
Sky Sports rated it "The midfielders tried to give Kane a lot of chances, but Kane was not helpful to the team."
Coincidentally, the current situation is similar to then. If Son Heung-min looks the same as Kane at the time in the final, he will have to face heavy criticism. It is true that Son Heung-min's influence has definitely decreased this season and his shooting is less sharp than before. For this reason, Tottenham fans are also criticizing it. If excessive input leads to defeat in the final, it can become a curse.
