Tottenham Hotspur manager Angie Postecoglou has dispelled concerns about injuries, saying that Son Heung-min and Kevin Danzo, who were shocked in the Manchester United match, are in good condition.

Tottenham Hotspur won 1-0 against Manchester United in the 25th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (PL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England. With this, Tottenham has won two games in a row following their win against Brentford and has risen to 12th place in the league.

Son Heung-min started as a winger and played until the 42nd minute of the second half before being replaced by Wilson Odover, who returned from injury. He had three shots and four key passes, showing great influence in the attack.

After the match, when injury issues were raised during an interview with local media outlets such as 'Football London', Manager Postecoglou drew the line, saying that no players were seriously injured. Injuries are the most sensitive issue for Tottenham this season. The serious slump in recent months was due to the absence of players due to injuries, which at times exceeded 10. One of the reasons for the victory against Manchester United was that Tottenham's injured players were gradually returning, while Manchester United suffered a series of additional injuries on the day.

Manager Postecoglou explained that Danzo, who was substituted early for a center back in the 33rd minute of the second half, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who was also removed, and Son Heung-min, who was substituted shortly after, were all out due to concussions received during the game. "Danzo had a concussion on his knee. Son Heung-min and Bentancur also had a slight concussion. I don't think it's serious at all. The good thing now is that instead of trying to somehow get them into the midweek game, we can have a week to recover before next weekend's game. Based on the information I've heard, all three will be fine," he said.
