Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou issues worrying Heung-min Son injury update ahead of Europa League semi-final

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son remains a significant doubt for Thursday's Europa League semi-final first leg.

Son has now missed Spurs' last three games after succumbing to a longstanding, and troublesome, foot injury, sitting out the win over Eintracht Frankfurt before defeats to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.

Ange Postecoglou confirmed last week that Son was able to return to training on Friday, but confirmed that no decision will be made on him facing Bodo/Glimt until closer to the game.

Speaking after the loss at Anfield, Postecoglou again underlined how Son could miss Thursday's showdown.

He told BBC Sport: "It’ll be touch and go for Thursday. He’ll try hard. If [he’s not ready] for the first game we think he’ll be ready for the second game.”

Spurs went on to lose 5-1 at Anfield - their 19th league defeat of a miserable season - as Liverpool were crowned champions. It was grim preparation ahead of another season-defining game.

Postecolgou added: "There’s a massive opportunity. We’ll put all our energies, efforts and focus into that and try to push on to a European final."
