Son Injury News: Tottenham Forward Suffers Setback

Son's Injury Status

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is set to miss several weeks of action after suffering a muscle injury in training. The South Korean international sustained the injury in the build-up to Tottenham's Premier League match against Manchester United on Wednesday, October 19.

Son underwent scans on Thursday, October 20, which revealed the extent of the injury. The club has confirmed that Son will be out for "several weeks," but no specific timeframe has been given for his return.

This is a significant blow for Tottenham, who are already without a number of key players through injury. Richarlison, Cristian Romero, and Dejan Kulusevski are all currently sidelined, leaving Antonio Conte with a depleted squad.

Son's Importance to Tottenham

Son is one of Tottenham's most important players. He has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season, including 10 in the Premier League. Son is also a key part of Tottenham's attacking trident, alongside Harry Kane and Richarlison.

Son's absence will be a major test for Tottenham, who have struggled for consistency this season. Conte's side has won just two of their last five Premier League matches and is currently ninth in the table.

Tottenham's Upcoming Fixtures

Tottenham has a number of important matches coming up in the next few weeks, including a Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, October 25.

Conte will be hopeful that Son can return to action as soon as possible, but the club will need to find a way to cope without their star forward in the meantime.
