Son Heung-min’s fitness has been confirmed by manager Enze Postecoglou. He is expected to start against Fulham.
Tottenham Hotspur will face Fulham in the ninth round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on April 24 at 4 p.m. (ET). Tottenham currently sits atop the league with an unbeaten record of six wins and two draws.
During the A-Match, several national aces were called up to represent their respective countries. Son Heung-min was called up for two friendlies in South Korea. Cristian Romero was also called up for Argentina’s South American qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026. They faced Paraguay and Peru on Sept. 13 and 18, respectively.
There have been concerns about Son’s fitness due to his poor form. Coming into the game with a groin injury, Son was rested against Tunisia, but played the full game against Vietnam, scoring one goal and assisting another.
He was often seen suffering from injuries in between matches. However, Son Heung-min said in an interview, “Injuries are an inevitable part of being a soccer player. I thought a lot about whether or not to play today. But I couldn’t allow myself to not play in front of the Korean fans,” he said.
Romero was reportedly injured during the match. He started the game against Paraguay and had to leave the field shortly afterward. He suffered an injury to his right ankle during the game. Romero was eventually replaced by Hermann Pechela after halftime. While the injury was reportedly not serious, it was a nervous one for Spurs.
The increasing fatigue of their main players was a concern for various media outlets. “There are question marks over Son’s fitness,” said Football London. Like Son, Romero”s injury needs to be checked. Tottenham must now decide if they are fit to play in the upcoming 메이저토토사이트 Premier League (PL) match against Fulham when they return,” leaving a worrying picture of the fitness of key players.
The good news is that they should be fit to play against Fulham. In his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou said: “It was a pretty positive A-match period for us. All the players are back. The medical reports look good. There are no real problems in terms of health.”
There was also mention of other injured players. “Giovanni Lo Celso had a good game for the Argentina national team. Brennan Johnson has also been training well for a couple of weeks. Rodrigo Bentancur and Brian Hill have been training together and have brought some good experience. We’ll play all the players who have been with the national team, and we’ll keep an eye on Johnson for now.”
