Tottenham Hotspur will be missing both Son and Kane for Tuesday’s clash with Ajax.
Tottenham legend Clive Allen suggested that Mauricio Pochettino’s side will miss Heung-Min Son more than Harry Kane against Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night, when speaking exclusively to Stadium Astro.
The South Korean has been in excellent form for Spurs this season, with 20 goals and 10 assists to his name in 45 appearances in all competitions thus far.
He has been extremely reliable for Tottenham, especially during Harry Kane’s absence, but unfortunately for the north London outfit, he is unavailable for the Champions League semi-final with Ajax due to suspension.
And Allen, who scored 76 goals for Spurs, suggested that Pochettino’s side will miss Son more than they will Kane on Tuesday night, when speaking exclusively to Stadium Astro:
“I have to say, no Kane or Son is something that will be very difficult to overcome. The more important absence is Son [Heung-Min]. That is going be something very difficult to compensate for.”
Whilst Son has been impressive this season, suggesting that he is more of a miss than Kane does seem to be a little strange, considering how many goals the England international has scored for Spurs.
Pochettino will have to rely on Lucas Moura and Fernando Llorente on Tuesday night, and against an in-form Ajax side, Tottenham will have to put in a real team performance, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of beating the Dutch side.
And Spurs fans will be praying that their team does not miss Son and Kane too much on Tuesday night.
