Son Heung-min Doubtful for Palace Clash: Spurs Fans Holding Their Breath
Is it deja vu all over again? Spurs fans are holding their breath after news broke that Son Heung-min is doubtful for the upcoming Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
The South Korean superstar, who has been on fire this season, picked up a knock during the Champions League match against AC Milan. The injury, believed to be a hamstring issue, has raised alarm bells for Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
It's a classic case of "not again!" Spurs fans are still haunted by the injury woes that plagued Son last season, leading to a frustrating dip in form for both the player and the team. The timing of the injury couldn't be worse, with a packed schedule on the horizon.
Conte is playing a dangerous game of poker with Son's availability, choosing to remain tight-lipped about the extent of the injury. This lack of clarity has only fueled speculation among fans who are desperately hoping for good news.
The reality is, we won't know for sure until closer to the Palace game. The next few days will be crucial for Son's recovery and for Conte's tactical plans.
If Son is sidelined, it will be a major blow to Tottenham's attacking firepower. The team relies heavily on his pace, dribbling skills, and goal-scoring prowess. His absence will open up the door for other players to step up, but it will be a huge ask for them to replicate Son's impact.
The stakes are high for the clash against Palace. A win would see Spurs move further up the table and solidify their position in the top four race. But without Son, it's a whole different ball game.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for Son. Spurs need him firing on all cylinders if they want to achieve their ambitions this season.
