Bad news for Tottenham Hotspur- they have a new injury concern, and it involves their star player, Heung-Min Son. The good news is that it’s just a minor injury to his foot.
“Sonny got a knock on his foot, so we’re being a bit cautious with him,” Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglu said. “There was no point in him travelling.”

Shifting gears from Heung-Min Son to Kevin Danso, he’ll face a late fitness test here. Let’s refer back to what Postecoglu said a couple/few days ago about the second leg.
“It’s touch and go [for the second leg],” the big Australian said after the first leg. “They are due to start training with the team, if not tomorrow, [then] early next week.”
And that is that! Spurs are a very fit side right now.
Their form hasn’t picked up, at all, but at least they are no longer in injury crisis. Guess the problem wasn’t injuries after all!
