Son Heung-min was replaced after limping, Tottenham and Klinsmann are nervous

Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min left the stadium limping. Both Tottenham, who are suffering from injuries one after another, and Klinsmann, who is one month away from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, are both nervous and watching their condition.

Tottenham suffered a 1-2 comeback defeat in the 15th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th (Korean time).

As a result, Tottenham continued to struggle with 1 draw and 4 losses in 5 games, including 3 consecutive home losses, and remained in 5th place with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses (27 points).

Although the result of the game was disappointing, a worrying situation occurred during the game for Tottenham.

Son Heung-min, who is Tottenham's captain this season and has the most goals (9 goals) in the team, expressed physical discomfort.

Son Heung-min, who started as a front-line striker, moved actively and contributed to the team's attack. Son Heung-min, who was playing well, was under strong pressure from Sunan Vladimir Coupal, who turned his back on the opposing defense in the 37th minute of the second half. At this time, Coupal's right knee and Son Heung-min's left hip joint collided strongly. Son Heung-min, who felt a strong shock, collapsed and complained of his pain.

Afterwards, Son Heung-min limped while feeling discomfort in his legs. In the end, coach Enze Postecoglou called Son Heung-min to the bench in the 43rd minute of the second half.

Son Heung-min limped to the bench and grimaced as if in pain. Son Heung-min greeted his teammates and the home crowd after the game, but his expression did not look good.

Coach Postekoglou was also asked about Son Heung-min's physical condition after the game, saying, "I'm not sure. “I’m not sure,” he said sparingly.

If Son Heung-min's injury is not minor, both Tottenham and Klinsmann are major bad news.

Tottenham is currently out of power as its core players, James Maddison, Mickey van der Pen, and Rodrigo Bentancur, have collapsed. To make matters worse, if Son Heung-min cannot play due to injury, Tottenham's performance will inevitably weaken.

Son Heung-min not only plays a key role in the attack, scoring the most goals, but he also contributes greatly to the defense by diligently applying pressure from the front.

In addition, as the team captain, he also acts as a mental leader leading young players on and off the pitch, so his absence is fatal to Tottenham.

If it is a real injury, it will be a disaster for Klinsmann, who is just one month away from the Asian Cup.

If Son Heung-min is unable to play for a while due to injury, there are bound to be concerns about his game sense and physical strength. Son Heung-min suffered a facial injury ahead of the Qatar World Cup last year and was not in good condition, which was also reflected in his performance.

Son Heung-min is playing a free role in Klinsmann and leading the attack. He has also accumulated a wealth of experience by participating in three World Cups and three Asian Cups, making him an indispensable member of the Klinsmann Lake.

Both Tottenham and Klinsmann have no choice but to keep a close eye on Son Heung-min's physical condition.
