Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko was substituted in the first half of win.
Tottenham Hotspur star Moussa Sissoko has enjoyed a spectacular turnaround in fortunes this season.
The £30 million signing has gone from being a laughing stock to a respected star, so much so that he has been touted as a potential club player of the year.
Up until this week, there would have been scant argument against giving Sissoko the award.
Heung-Min Son’s statement performance against Manchester City has threatened to change that.
Sissoko was withdrawn in the first half against City with a groin strain. It was a cruel end to his night.
He now faces a battle to be fit this weekend and even for Tottenham’s semi-final.
Son scored three of Tottenham’s four goals against City over two legs. He was the team’s most valuable player in the season defining tie.
Sissoko has been terrific this season and the player of the year award was his for the taking.
Now it looks like he could have been usurped by the irrepressible Son.
