Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has shared an update on captain Heung-min Son’s condition after the winger missed the team’s commanding 3-0 victory against Manchester United.
Son picked up a hamstring injury during Spurs’ Europa League match against Qarabag, forcing him to leave the pitch after feeling discomfort in his thigh.
The injury sparked concerns about its severity, but Postecoglou expressed hope that it’s not too serious.
The manager stated that Son’s progress will be carefully monitored when the team returns to London, and he remains optimistic that the South Korean star won’t be out of action for an extended period.
As quoted by the official club site, Postecoglou stated:
“We’ll see how he is when we get back to London. Hopefully it’s nothing too bad.”
Even without their captain, Tottenham delivered an impressive performance against United, with the team’s attacking lineup showcasing its depth and quality.
Key players stepped up to maintain Spurs’ momentum, and Pedro Porro honoured Son by copying his trademark camera celebration after Dominic Solanke’s goal, a heartfelt gesture that was appreciated by both fans and teammates.
Son’s influence on the squad, both as a leader and a key attacking threat, is undeniable. His ability to inspire those around him has made him a vital part of Tottenham’s success. As the club navigates through a demanding fixture schedule, Postecoglou and his team are eager to see their captain return to full fitness as soon as possible.
With Spurs riding high on their recent performances, Son’s comeback will only bolster the squad further, reinforcing their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
