Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) suffered a foot injury and will miss the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Tottenham Hotspur on the 13th (Korean time) announced via the club's official website a pre-match interview with head coach Ange Postecoglou. In the interview, Postecoglou explained the reason for Son's exclusion from the lineup, saying, "Son Heung-min suffered a shock to his foot."
Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers will face off shortly at 10 p.m. on the 13th at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, in Round 32 of the 2024-2025 Premier League season.
Tottenham will line up in a 4-3-3 formation. Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke, and Brennan Johnson will occupy the front line, while James Maddison, Pape Sarr, and Yves Bissouma will fill the midfield. Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Archy Gray, and Jed Spence will make up the back four, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal. Son Heung-min has been excluded from the lineup.
Tottenham noted, "Head coach Ange Postecoglou made six changes to the starting lineup after the draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Tel is starting in the front line in place of Son Heung-min, who has been completely excluded from this match's lineup."
Tottenham will play the second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on the 18th, and Son Heung-min's exclusion appears to be a simple rotation for that match.
However, Postecoglou explained, "Son Heung-min suffered a shock to his foot. So we are being cautious," clarifying that his exclusion from the lineup was to prevent injury.
Postecoglou also mentioned Wilson Odobert, saying, "He is currently recovering from a recent injury. Both Son Heung-min and Odobert should be available for the Frankfurt match."
Meanwhile, Tottenham is in 15th place in the league with 37 points (11 wins, 4 draws, 16 losses), and Wolverhampton is in 17th place with 32 points (9 wins, 5 draws, 17 losses). The British 'Sports Mole' predicted a 1-2 loss for Tottenham, while '90min' predicted a 2-2 draw.
