Tottenham captain Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) is facing serious foot injury issues.
Tottenham won 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarterfinal second leg of the 2024-2025 season Europa League at the Frankfurt Stadion in Frankfurt, Germany, on the 18th.
Tottenham, who drew 1-1 in the first leg, advanced to the semifinals with 1 win and 1 draw. Facing a trophyless crisis this season, Tottenham has managed to maintain hope in the Europa League, their only remaining opportunity for a championship.
Captain Son Heung-min missed the match due to his foot injury. Son Heung-min could not participate in the trip to Germany as he focused on his rehabilitation. Instead, Tottenham played with Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke, and Brennan Johnson in the front three. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Dominic Solanke secured the victory with a decisive penalty kick.
Son Heung-min has missed two consecutive games following the Wolverhampton match. Tottenham will face Nottingham Forest on the 22nd. Son Heung-min's absence is expected to be prolonged for the time being. He is concentrating on recovery with the goal of returning for the semifinal match against Bodo on May 2.
'Tottenham Hotspur News' reported on Son Heung-min's condition by quoting Dr. Bra, a sports physician. Bra noted, "Foot injuries are very complex and challenging to treat, as they are an area frequently used in playing soccer. Son Heung-min will have his treatment condition checked daily to determine his return status."
Tottenham is currently 15th in the Premier League. There is no reason to risk Son Heung-min in a season that is already in disarray. Dr. Bra predicted, "Tottenham wants to field their best players in the Europa League. If Son Heung-min has not yet returned to team training, the likelihood of him missing the next match is high."
Ultimately, Son Heung-min has been confirmed to miss the home match against Nottingham on the 22nd. His participation in the Europa League remains uncertain.
