Korean newspaper Hankook Ilbo report that the Spurs attacker will be out for ‘significantly longer’ than the previous arm fracture Son picked up back in 2017, with the former Bayer Leverkusen star missing over two months of action the last time the 27-year-old severely injured himself.
And this update was a hammer blow to Tottenham supporters on social media, with some distraught over the news that Son could well be out for the rest of the season with Spurs still in with a chance to qualify to the next round of the Champions League as well as win the FA Cup.
Here’s what some Spurs fans had to say on Twitter about Son’s injury update…
