Many local media in the U.K. predict that Son’s participation in the match against Newcastle is uncertain. The Sun of the U.K. introduced Son’s pain in the bench after being replaced in the match against West Ham, saying, “Son Heung-min is in tears as he is receiving medical treatment from his team. Tottenham once again fell into fear of injury.”
“Tottenham, which had been fighting for the lead in the Premier League at the beginning of this season, has fallen to fifth place in the league table. It has the same points as Manchester United, which was criticized a lot this season,” the British Metro said. “If Son Heung-min joins Tottenham’s injured list along with Madison, Van der Ben and Bentancur, it will not be easy for Tottenham to qualify for the top four in the Premier League.”
Tottenham showed an unbeaten streak of 10 consecutive Premier League games at the beginning of this season. Tottenham led the league by five points ahead of second-place Manchester City since its victory over Crystal Palace in October, but its ranking has fallen to fifth place in the league with no wins in the last five consecutive games. Tottenham faced a power vacuum in the 11th round of the Premier League against Chelsea after midfielder Madison and defender van der Ben were injured together. Tottenham scored the first goal in all of the last five games, but failed to win, recording one draw and four losses. Tottenham is concerned about Son Heung-min’s injury following Madison and Van der Ben.
