Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Nuno Espirito Santo has given an update on Heung-Min Son’s fitness, and sadly, it doesn’t sound good.
The Korean was ruled out of one of his country’s games earlier this week due to an injury problem, and upon his return to north London it doesn’t sound as though this issue has been alleviated.
Indeed, Nuno says that Son isn’t so well at the moment, but he wouldn’t disclose the full extent of the injury, saying that we’ll need to wait for the club’s announcement.
What’s been said?
Nuno gave a fitness update after the international break.
“Some of our players came with issues. Sonny is not so well. Let’s wait for the club to make the announcement,” Nuno said.
“[Is it long-term?] I don’t know. Let’s wait and see. The doctors will make the analysis.”
Worrying
This isn’t good news at all.
Son has been Spurs’ star of the season so far, and the fact that he may be facing a spell on the sidelines is concerning for everyone at the club.
Luckily, Tottenham do still have Harry Kane providing the firepower up top, but they will undoubtedly miss the impact Son can make – after all, he is a player who was once described as ‘wonderful’ by Gary Lineker.
Fingers crossed the attacker is back fit and firing sooner rather than later.
