[골닷컴] Reporter Dong-ho Kim = Tottenham’s plans for the North London derby have been disrupted. Dejan Klushevski is likely to miss due to an injury he sustained during match A.
Tottenham will play an away match against Arsenal in the 8th round of the Premier League for the 2021-22 season at 8:30 pm on the 1st. The confrontation between the two teams was called the ‘North London Derby’, and fierce battles were fought every time.
Tottenham Hotspur’s main gun Heung-Min Son warmed up his toes by scoring two consecutive goals in the second match of Match A in Korea. He played without any injuries and returned to London, England. He is expected to focus on his team again and prepare for the upcoming North London Derby.
Son Heung-min returned safely, while Tottenham suffered a power leak. That’s Klushevsky. Klusevsky is a member of the Swedish national team. He started both games against Serbia and Slovenia. He recorded one assist against Serbia and played the field 90 minutes full time against Slovenia.
After returning from the A match, Klusevsky is said to have complained of an injury. ‘Evening Standard’ reported on the 29th (Korean time), “Klusevsky said that his hamstrings were stiff, so he was tested at the club. “He appears to have a muscle injury and is suspected of playing ahead of the critical North London derby on Saturday.”
Klusevsky has been playing a stellar performance for Tottenham Hotspur. He scored five goals and provided eight assists in 18 league appearances last season after he left Juventus on a loan move to Tottenham earlier this year. He had the effect of dispersing the attack routes that were focused on Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane.
In particular, in the final match against Norwich City, Son Heung-min, who was aiming for the top scorer, tried to push a pass and missed a one-on-one chance, and even produced a funny image, which earned him a ‘favorable image’ from domestic soccer fans. He has scored 1 goal and 3 assists in 7 league games this season.
Klusevsky, who is still on loan, is likely to make a complete transfer to Tottenham. However, regardless of whether or not he has a full transfer, if he is injured, preparations for the North London Derby will be disrupted. ‘Evening Standard’ said, “Tottenham’s goal is to defeat Arsenal and take the lead in the league. Kane, Heung-Min Son, and Richalisong will be the three-top players.”
“Heung-min Son hit a fierce hat-trick against Leicester before Match A. Korea scored goals in both matches of the A match and continued his good form. Richalisson also scored three goals against Ghana and Tunisia in a friendly match against Brazil.”
