The Frenchman will miss his second straight game.
Tottenham announced the news of his absence on the club’s website on Wednesday (Feb. 12). Tottenham will host Newcastle United at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England, on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. for the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season.
Head coach Enze Postecoglou told Spursplay: “He will not be with us against Newcastle. He is close to returning but we will give him more time to recover. We don’t have a game next weekend either, so he’ll be back for the next one.”
Tottenham won’t play again until the North London derby against Arsenal on Nov. 28 after traveling to Newcastle. The home game against Man City on May 20 has been postponed due to the FA Cup quarterfinals. The game will now be played on May 15.
The Frenchman has rebounded this season. He scored his first double-digit goals (10) in the EPL since joining Tottenham while ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min was away at the Qatar Asian Cup.
But since his return, he’s been quiet again. His knee injury has been an on-again, off-again affair.
His last start was on February 18 against Wolverhampton. He missed the games against Crystal Palace on February 3 and Aster Villa on February 10 before coming on as a substitute against Fulham on February 17.
After being called up to the Brazil squad for the A-Match, he returned to the field as a substitute against Luton Town on March 31 and West Ham on March 3. However, he was left out of the squad again against Nottingham Forest on Aug. 8 and skipped the Newcastle game.
Tottenham signed him for £60 million in the summer of 2022, and he scored just one goal in his first season in the EPL. Spurs are considering selling him this summer due to his inconsistent form.
With the absence of Heung-Min Son confirmed, it’s likely 카지노 that he will continue to play up front against Newcastle. Football Insider predicts that Son will play up front, with Timo Werner, James Maddison, and Brennan Johnson in the second line.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur were expected to start in defensive midfield instead of Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr. Enze Postecoglou pulled out the Bentancur and Hojbjerg cards at the start of the second half after a lackluster first half at Nottingham, and the mercenary move paid off.
No changes at the back. Destiny Udoji and Pedro Foro at left fullback, Micky van der Vaart and Cristian Romero at center back, and Guglielmo Vicario in goal.
Son Heung-min, who assisted van der Penn’s winning goal against Nottingham, has 15 goals and nine assists this season. With one more assist, he will join the ’10-10′ club for the first time in three years.
Son became the first Asian player to reach the EPL ’10-10′ (11 goals and 10 assists) mark in the 2019-2020 season. He repeated the feat in the 2020-2021 season with 17 goals and 10 assists.
Joining the ’10-10′ club for the third time opens a new door. Only five players in the EPL have joined the 10-10 club three or more times: Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and Mohamed Salah.
