Tottenham will assess captain Heung-min Son to determine his availability for upcoming meetings with Ferencvaros and Brighton, while manager Ange Postecoglou has also offered an update on the injury sustained by Destiny Udogie against Manchester United.
Stylish Spurs cruised to a statement 3-0 Premier League victory at Old Trafford on Sunday – a result made all the more impressive given that they were without their influential skipper, who was forced off in the late stages of Thursday’s Europa League opener against Qarabag.
Son suffered hamstring fatigue in that game and Postecoglou said on Friday that he was unsure if he would be fit to face United, insisting that the player wanted to train over the weekend before a final decision was made.
However, the South Korean forward was omitted from Tottenham’s matchday squad at Old Trafford, with Postecoglou telling Sky Sports before the game: “Short turnaround obviously from Thursday night and he just wasn’t right for today so we’re going there without him.
“Yeah [it’s a blow for Tottenham], but we’ve had to sort of suffer those things a fair bit during my time here with key players missing out. We just have to learn to cope without him.”
