Tottenham captain Son Heung-min will miss today’s Premier League match against Manchester United due to injury.
The Korean was substituted in the 3-0 Europa League win over Qarabag on Thursday evening with a suspected hamstring problem.
Spur head coach Ange Postecoglou said his star striker hoped to train on Saturday, which would have boosted his chances of playing against Erik ten Hag’s side.
“Sonny, I don’t mind that,” said the Australian boss.
‘He wants to train tomorrow (Saturday) and we will see how it goes and make a decision from there. We still have another day ahead of us to give him every chance.”
