“He said he was tired” after Son Heung-min was suspected of being injured
Son Heung-min started as a left-side striker in the first round of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) phase against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 27th (Korea time) and played until the 26th minute of the second half before being replaced by Timo Werner.
Son Heung-min, who felt abnormal in his body after attempting a right-footed shot that led to Dominic Solanke’s score that sealed his team’s 3-0 victory in the 23rd minute of the second half, collapsed on the ground shortly after.
Son Heung-min, who communicated after the medical staff entered, walked down the ground when the replacement was decided.
According to British media Football London, Postecoglou said at a press conference after the game, “We didn’t talk about the injury, but he said Son Heung-min seemed a little tired.”
He added, “I did not talk with Son Heung-min or the medical staff about the injury.”
Son Heung-min has been playing a tight schedule this season. He has played three games in a week since Sept. 15 after the A-match ended.
Before the match against Karabakh, he said, “We are not robots,” adding that he played too many games.
There is no time to rest. Son has to play an away game against Manchester United in the sixth round of the English Premier League at 0:30 p.m. on Saturday.메이저놀이터
