Tottenham star Heung-min Son has been facing some issues in recent weeks.
Alasdair Gold, a reliable correspondent for Football London who covers Tottenham, has confirmed that Son has been “carrying a problem” and that the Spurs staff are working to address the issue.
Gold has stated that the Tottenham staff have been conducting “odd sessions” with Son, separate from the group in order to work on the issue.
While the exact nature of the problem has not been disclosed, it is clear that the Spurs staff are taking a proactive approach to ensure that Son is able to perform at his best.
He wrote:
“Son has also been carrying a problem in recent weeks that requires the odd session away from the group at Hotspur Way.”
Son’s form has declined significantly this season compared to his impressive performances last year.
Last season, Son won the joint golden boot with Mohamed Salah after scoring 23 goals and providing 9 assists in 35 league games.
However, this season he has only managed to score 5 goals and provide 3 assists in 23 league games, and a total of 9 goals in all competitions.
Tottenham will be hoping that the South Korean can regain his best form as the season enters its final few months.
The team is currently aiming to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League and is also still competing in the FA Cup and the Champions League.
Having a fully fit and in-form Son would be a tremendous boost for Antonio Conte.
