Son Heung-min Returns Ahead of Aston Villa Match

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is optimistic about the return of captain Son Heung-min for the upcoming Premier League match against Aston Villa, stating he trained well and should be available. Son has missed the last three games due to a thigh issue, which has impacted Spurs' performance, including a defeat to Crystal Palace. However, Postecoglou confirmed that Micky van de Ven will miss the match due to a hamstring strain but the injury is not serious, allowing for a potential return after the international break. Cristian Romero and Timo Werner are also injury doubts for the Villa clash, with Romero's situation being assessed. Spurs are currently eighth in the league and will rely on Son's return to bolster their efforts against a strong Aston Villa side, who are fourth in the table. The match is crucial for Tottenham as they aim to improve their inconsistent form.
