Wed Jan 15 19:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Tottenham’s Young Player Yang Min-hyeok: A Slim Chance at North London Derby Debut

**London, England** – Amidst Tottenham Hotspur’s injury crisis and poor recent form, the possibility of young midfielder Yang Min-hyeok making his Premier League debut in the upcoming North London derby against Arsenal remains a slim but intriguing prospect.

While manager Ange Postecoglou has not explicitly mentioned Yang in his pre-match press conferences, focusing instead on the return of Richarlison from injury, the British outlet *Football London* has suggested Yang could be included in the matchday squad, albeit likely as a bench option.

Tottenham are currently struggling, winless in their last four league games and suffering a significant number of injuries. Key players such as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, center-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, and several other key midfielders and defenders are sidelined. Even more recently, Timo Werner suffered a hamstring injury, further depleting the squad.

Yang, who was notably absent from the squad in the recent FA Cup match against Tamworth despite pre-match speculation suggesting his debut, has yet to feature in a Premier League match. Postecoglou has previously stated his priority is for Yang to adapt to the Premier League level, highlighting the significant difference from his previous leagues.

Although the chances of Yang starting are considered extremely low, *Football London*’s suggestion that he might be included on the bench offers a glimmer of hope for the young player and Tottenham fans. The possibility of an unexpected appearance due to further injuries cannot be entirely ruled out. The North London derby kicks off at 5:00 AM KST on the 16th.
