Son Heung-min’s Untimely Injury Worries Ange Postecoglou
Son Heung-min missed tonight’s match against Wolverhampton due to injury, and the coaching staff hopes he will return for the second leg against Frankfurt.
According to reports, Tottenham suffered a high-scoring 4-2 defeat against Wolverhampton in the 32nd week of the Premier League, extending the struggles of Ange Postecoglou and his team in the league.
In addition to the disappointing loss for Big Ange’s squad, one concerning issue for Tottenham’s frustrated fans was the absence of captain Son Heung-min from tonight’s lineup due to injury, forcing him to miss the crucial Spurs match.
According to Goal, Son Heung-min suffered a right ankle injury in the closing minutes of the previous match, prompting Postecoglou to avoid risking him so he could potentially be available for the second leg against Frankfurt in Germany.
Postecoglou spoke about Son’s injury before tonight’s match against Wolverhampton: “Son was injured in the last game, so we tried to be cautious with him. That’s why he wasn’t in the squad tonight, and we hope to have him back for the next match.”
Son Heung-min has been a key player for Postecoglou this season, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
