Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur will take on Watford on Wednesday.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to The Daily Mail that Son Heung-min will be back in action this week.

Spurs will take on Watford at Wembley Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.

The North London outfit will head into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Son missed the tie as he had just returned from international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup, but Spurs manager Pochettino believes that the 26-year-old – who can operate as a winger or as a forward – could be back in action against Watford on Wednesday evening.

Pochettino told The Daily Mail: “On Sunday we were with him on the training ground in the morning. He’s so tired, he played three games.

“Very tough games. Of course not too much energy on Sunday, but we hope he’ll be available and ready on Wednesday to help the team.”

Good news for Tottenham Hotspur fans

With Harry Kane injured and Fernando Llorente struggling, Son’s return is great news for Tottenham and will be welcomed with open arms.

The South Korea international can play upfront, and given that he has already scored eight goals and provided five assists in 12 Premier League starts for Tottenham this season – according to WhoScored – the fans will expect him to bang in the goals in the coming weeks.
