The Spurs skipper was substituted during the second half of last Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League victory over Qarabag FK.
Son did not travel with the team to Hungary for Spurs’ 2-1 triumph against Ferencvaros yesterday night, and as a result, he missed the team’s victory against Manchester United 3-0 on the road last Sunday. Ange Postecoglou revealed during his Friday morning news conference that Son will play in his third Spurs game on Sunday. Postecoglou stated, “Sonny is unlikely; he’s pushing hard, but it’s too soon.” Son will not be selected for South Korea’s World Cup qualifying matches against Jordan and Iran next week, the country has recently stated.

‘It is undesirable to witness athletes battling injuries. Son answered, “No one wants to see it.” Numerous games and extensive travel. We must take care of ourselves, which can be rather challenging at times. You’re not ready, either physically or mentally. There is a significant risk of injury once on the field. We are not automatons. Destiny Udogie also missed Spurs’ last success in the Europa League on Thursday after he was taken off at half time against Manchester United last Sunday. “We think Destiny will be fine; we’re training today and tomorrow,” Postecoglou stated early on Friday.
