Tottenham star Son Heung-Min is a doubt for this weekend’s game against Manchester United.
The Spurs captain was sent off in the Europa League game against Qarabag and his fitness is still not fully known.
The Premier League club beat Qarabag 3-0, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, Pape Matar Sarr and Dominic Solanke.
Radu Dragusin was sent off early in the first half but Spurs made sure they still got things going in their first European game of the season.
They are now preparing to face Man United in the Premier League at Old Trafford and have picked up an injury on one of their key players.
Son was substituted in the 71st minute of the match and has been worried about his fitness.
Spurs boss Postecoglou provided his captain’s update but did not confirm the details of the injury.
“I haven’t spoken to him. He said he felt a bit tired, but I haven’t spoken to him or the medical team yet.” Postecoglou said of Son, as quoted by The Independent.
It would be a huge blow for Spurs if they travel to Old Trafford without their star player.
Tottenham return to form after north London derby defeat
Spurs have won three in a row after losing to Arsenal in the Premier League. They have managed wins against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup, Brentford in the league and Qarabag in the Europa League.
Postecoglou is trying to get Tottenham’s season back on track after a slow start.
The game against Man United will be a big test for the manager and his players even though the Red Devils are not in form.
Old Trafford is never an easy place to visit and Spurs will have to be at their best to come back with all three points from Manchester.
