Son Heung-min is expected to play in the second half even if he plays for Southampton.
Tottenham will play against Southampton in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) during the 2024-2025 season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the U.K., on Saturday. Tottenham currently ranks 15th in the league with 34 points. Southampton ranks 20th in the league.
Ahead of the upcoming match, the British newspaper The Standard predicted Tottenham's roster for the match against Southampton. Media outlets saw Son Heung-min will not start. Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Christian Romero, Ben Davies, Destiny Udoghi, Lucas Beribal, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pepe Matar Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Wilson Odobert are expected to play.
Son Heung-min will not miss the game at all, but some say he is unlikely to play as a starter to do his best for the UEFA Europa League (UEL) game during the week.
In fact, Tottenham's league performance has already been broken beyond recovery. It is the same ranking as the 1993-1994 season, when the EPL recorded its worst performance since the opening of the league. If Korea wants to play in the European competition next season, it needs to compete at least in the top seven teams. Already, the score gap with the top seven teams is 14 points.
It is not a number that is arithmetically impossible to reverse, but it is only an arithmetic probability. According to Tottenham's recent performance and results in the league, Tottenham fans have already given up. Rather, it is a realistic choice to focus on UEL as much as possible and seek to win the championship. If Tottenham performs well in the league in the rest of the schedule and raises its performance from 15th to 11th, it actually means nothing. It is the same that they cannot go to the European competition next season, whether they are 11th or 15th.
Moreover, Einracht Frankfurt, who is ranking third in the German Bundesliga this season, is facing the quarterfinals at UEL. I am not sure whether Tottenham is ahead of Tottenham in terms of objective performance, but Frankfurt is much better this season given the flow and atmosphere of the season. It is not at all strange even if Frankfurt wins.
In response, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou can choose to store as much physical strength as possible in the match against Southampton and focus on the match against Frankfurt, as Son Heung-min also played in the match against Chelsea on weekdays. James Maddison, the vice-captain, is expected to undergo a similar process.
It is an inevitable situation that cannot be changed, but it will be bittersweet for Son Heung-min. This is because he could record his worst performance since switching to the EPL in the season he is leading as a captain. Next season could be his last season with Tottenham, but his performance in the league collapsed completely, and he is in danger of not being able to play in the European match. It doesn't mean much to play in the league anymore this season. 바카라사이트
This is why Tottenham fans want Postecoglou to be replaced as soon as possible. Tottenham is expected to replace Postecoglou if it fails to win the UEL.
