Tottenham captain Son Heung-min will miss today’s Premier League clash against Manchester United through injury.

The Korean was substituted in the 3-0 Europa League victory over Qarabag on Thursday night with a suspected hamstring issue.

Spur head coach Ange Postecoglou said that his star forward was hoping to train on Saturday which would have boosted his chances of playing against Erik ten Hag’s team.

‘Sonny, I don’t think is too bad,’ the Australian boss said.

‘He wants to train tomorrow (Saturday) and we will see how it goes and make a decision from there. We have another day up our sleeve to give him every chance.’

But Mail Sport has learned the forward will miss the visit to Old Trafford in news that will arrive as a blow to Postecoglou’s hopes this afternoon.

Following a difficult start to the season that saw them win just once from their opening four games, Tottenham are on a run of three successive victories as head into today’s clash against United.

But Son’s absence arrives as a blow to the Tottenham’s hopes against United later.

Dominic Solanke, who has scored two in two, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski will be hopeful of playing in attack in Son’s absence.
