Son Heung-Min, the captain of Tottenham, has been absent from the team's last three games due to a thigh injury. However, manager Ange Postecoglou is optimistic that he will be able to play in the upcoming Premier League match against Aston Villa on Sunday. It has been a mixed experience for Tottenham without Son, as they were able to secure wins against AZ in the Europa League and Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, but suffered a defeat against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Son has been a key player for Tottenham this season, with three goals and two assists in just six league appearances. With the team currently sitting in eighth place in the table, they are eager to have him back for such an important game. Aston Villa, who are currently in fourth place, have a strong away record and will surely pose a tough challenge for Tottenham.
The good news for Tottenham is that Son returned to training on Friday and is expected to be available for the match against Villa. Postecoglou mentioned in his pre-match press conference that as long as there are no setbacks, Son should be able to play. However, there are other injury concerns for Tottenham, particularly with their first choice centre-back duo of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
Both players were forced to leave the pitch during the team's recent victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. Van de Ven, who has struggled with hamstring injuries in the past, appeared to have suffered another one and had to be substituted in tears. However, Postecoglou reassured fans that it is not a serious injury and he should be back after the upcoming international break.
As for Romero and Timo Werner, who also picked up injuries in the same game, there is still a chance for them to be available for the weekend. Tottenham will surely be hoping to have all their key players fit and ready for the tough match against Aston Villa.
