Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has provided an update on the injury status of captain Son Heung-min ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash with Brighton on Sunday. Son Heung-min, the South Korea international, sustained a hamstring injury during Tottenham’s Europa League match against Qarabag last week, which has forced him to miss their recent victories over Manchester United and Ferencvaros.
Postecoglou mentioned that it is unlikely Son will be available for the Brighton trip, indicating that the quick turnaround time for recovery might be a hurdle for the player. This absence could mean another start for Timo Werner in Son’s place. Despite this setback, Spurs have managed to secure five consecutive wins in all competitions.
Postecoglou also addressed the performance of James Maddison, who has been showing promising signs after a season plagued with injuries. Maddison did not make it to the England squad for the upcoming matches against Greece and Finland, a decision made by interim boss Lee Carsley. However, Postecoglou expressed confidence in Maddison’s form and impact on the team, acknowledging his consistent outstanding performance.
Dejan Kulusevski has been another standout player for Tottenham this season, with his successful transition to a more central role. Postecoglou praised the Swede for his remarkable performances and versatility on the field, highlighting his capacity to make significant contributions both in attack and defense.
As Spurs gear up for their Brighton trip, Postecoglou’s updates on Son Heung-min’s injury and the team’s overall form will be crucial factors to watch out for. With a string of victories behind them, Tottenham will look to maintain their winning streak in the Premier League.
