In early May, Spurs continuously received good news about their squad. On May 8, midfielder Son Heung-min completed a 3-week military training course on Jeju Island (Korea) and is preparing to return to London to join Tottenham. Recently, striker Harry Kane also confirmed that he has fully recovered from his injury.
"I am in very good shape. I have fully recovered from my injury and am currently training. I am recovering quickly with many personal exercises with the coach," Kane shared in a Twitter video.
The recovery of both Son and Harry Kane from injury is very meaningful for Mourinho, as well as Tottenham. Since taking the head coaching position of the "Roosters", Mourinho has always built a style of play around this duo. Not disappointing expectations, Kane and Son played brilliantly, bringing home 15 goals to help Tottenham quickly advance in the rankings.
Unfortunately, injuries have changed all of the Special One's plans. Son Heung-min has not been able to play since breaking his arm in the match against Aston Villa on February 16. Before that, captain Harry Kane had been away from the pitch since early January due to a hamstring injury.
When Kane left, "S Ronaldo" took the lead and became the main "goal-scoring" player, bringing Spurs many important victories. When Son Heung-min also had to miss the competition, Mourinho could not find a reliable striker. Tottenham have become a " bulletless gun" and have declined significantly in terms of performance.
Spurs are currently ranked 8th in the Premier League and have no chance in other arenas. However, the chance to compete for a top 4 spot in the Champions League is still there, although it is very fragile. At this time, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are Tottenham's hopes.
