LAFC to Limit Son Heung‑min’s Minutes Ahead of Busy August Schedule

LAFC head coach Marc Dos Santos said the club will closely monitor and restrict the playing time of Korean forward Son Heung‑min during an unusually condensed August schedule that includes eight MLS matches and Leagues Cup fixtures.

Son, who turned 34 this month, scored his first MLS goal of the season against LA Galaxy after a 13‑match goalless stretch and has a strong record against Real Salt Lake, highlighted by a hat‑trick in September 2024. The upcoming home game versus Real Salt Lake is part of that busy stretch, and the team hopes workload management will keep Son fresh and effective.
