Ange Postecoglou delivers major Son Heung-min Tottenham injury update ahead of Man Utd clash
Tottenham could be without captain Son Heung-min for the Premier League trip to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. The South Korean went off early in the Europa League clash with Qarabag on Thursday night.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou said after the game: "I haven't spoken to him. He said he felt a bit tired, but I haven't spoken to him or the medical team yet."
But in his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou said it would be a late fitness test for Son. He said: "Apart from Sonny, everyone's ok, but I don't think it's too bad [with Sonny]. He wants to train tomorrow so we'll see how he goes at training and make a decision from there. We have another day up our sleeve to give him every chance."
Postecoglou did deliver a clean bill of health for everyone else in the squad, although he did admit the players were "tired" after a long match in the Europa League. Cristian Romero will return following his suspension in Europe.
Spurs travel to Old Trafford for what could be a big match in the race for a Champions League spot come the end of the season. And Postecoglou's team have 24 hours less to prepare for the game than United, whose Europa League clash against Twente took place on Wednesday.
Spurs also had to play for 82 minutes with ten men, following Radu Dragusin's red card. Having to do without their captain for the clash would be a tough ask too.
