Son Heung-min's Injury update

Tottenham Hotspur is facing a challenging situation with star player Son Heung-min's availability for the upcoming game against Newcastle United in doubt. 

Son, who was visibly in pain after a hard knock in the back during a recent match, was seen receiving medical attention while in tears, as captured in fan footage. 

Post-match, he commented on his condition, stating, "It hurts a bit. It hurts a lot more when it crashed earlier. I got a little sore even after it was over so I took painkillers now. I will have to look at it tomorrow but I just hope it’s not serious," as reported by The Spurs Watch

Tottenham’s manager's reaction

Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager, has not yet provided a definitive update on Son's injury. He mentioned to Newcastle World, "No update yet. We’ll see how he is because he was a bit sore after the game. 

"We’ll wait and see what the outcome is for Sunday." The uncertainty surrounding Son's injury adds to the club's existing injury woes.
