Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero, and James Maddison have all been seen practicing again for Tottenham ahead of Sheffield United.
Players on duty for their countries were gradually reintegrated into the team at Hotspur Way throughout this week, which allowed Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou to exhale with relief. There were several anxious moments because several of the squad’s brightest talents were entrusted with playing significant roles for their nation.
Son Heung-min, the recently chosen club captain, was shown with a sizable ice pack and substantial bracing on his knee following South Korea’s encounter with Wales last week, raising fears that the forward may be seriously injured before the Premier League resumes. However, Son returned to action right away, competing for his nation again against Saudi Arabia a few days later.
Son’s two games in Cardiff and Newcastle are a significant plus for Postecoglou as the offset difficulties of jet lag and weariness have less of an impact. Son frequently travels some of the longest distances during an international break. He is certain to play a key role in his manager’s plans for Saturday’s match against Sheffield United after scoring a hat-trick the last time out.

Under terms of the expanded partnership between Tottenham Hotspur and the NFL, a minimum of two regular season games a year will continue to be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking to Tottenham’s official website following the news, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy stated that he is “extremely proud” that Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been given official status as the Home of NFL in the UK.
“Our partnership with the NFL has been integral to our wider vision for the stadium and delivering a sports and entertainment destination in London,” he said. “Creating additional recurring sources of revenue to reinvest in our football activities is a key part of the club’s financial model.
“NFL gamedays at our stadium are special occasions where we see fans from around the world descend on Tottenham, bringing so much vibrancy to the High Road and supporting our local economy. As the NFL continues to grow its fanbase throughout Europe, we are extremely proud to be given official status as the Home of the NFL in the UK and look forward to seeing the excitement that gamedays bring to Tottenham for many more years to come.”
Following the new agreement, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: “We are excited to extend our partnership with Tottenham Hotspur through the 2029-2030 season and look forward to hosting future NFL games in the world-class Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as the Official Home of the NFL in the UK.
“Growing the game globally is a major strategic priority for the League. Our commitment to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will allow us to continue to bring extraordinary NFL experiences to fans in London, while creating a positive social and economic impact on the local community.”
Next month will see two more NFL games take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars will come up against each other on Sunday, October 8, with the Tennessee Titans taking on the Baltimore Ravens seven days later.
