Auba: Drawing Manchester United in the League Cup is a Good Sign; Whether Son Heung-min Plays Depends on Training Status

On November 3, in the 10th round of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur will face Aston Villa. Before the match, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou attended a press conference.

About Team Injuries

The main issue is with Van der Veen. He has a slight ligament tear, but it’s not severe, and he might return to the team after the international break. His mood is a bit low, but the good news is that it’s not as serious as last time, which forced him off the pitch for a long period. Werner and Romero still have a chance to catch up for the weekend game. Son Heung-min has already trained today, and if he completes all training sessions, he will be included in the matchday squad. Oudobert’s injury has flared up again, and we need to be cautious. This recovery time is similar to the previous one.

About the League Cup Match Against Manchester United

It’s a good draw, we are at home, and we welcome any team we draw. Regardless of the opponent, the game will be tough.

About Manchester United Appointing Amorim

He will make his mark here, and I look forward to facing him.

About Emery

When he was at Arsenal, he was quickly sacked. Before joining Villa, he was already a renowned coach. Villa found someone who could help them reach their desired position, and he has done just that.

About It Being Emery’s Birthday on Match Day

I hope it’s a painful day for him. I’m the oldest manager in this league, so I don’t like talking about birthdays.

About Prioritizing the League Cup or Top Four Finish

I want both. Because I said I wanted everything, but if it doesn’t happen, people might mock me. I will do my best to take the biggest bite and see what happens.

About Not Playing Like “Spurs” in the League Cup Match Against Manchester City

You have to accept that. First, we need to focus on our defense, and they didn’t create many clear chances. If you want to beat a team like Manchester City, that’s what you need to do.
