Heung-min Son was involved in 25 goals in 32 compulsory matches this season (16 goals, 9 assists)
A major setback for Tottenham!
The English have to do without Heung-in Son (27) in the Champions League round of 16 against Leipzig tomorrow (9 pm Sky and BILD live ticker). The striker broke his arm during the 3:2 victory at Aston Villa and will be absent for several weeks.
The former Bundesliga professional (HSV and Leverkusen) will even have to undergo surgery. According to the English media, the operation will take place in his home country South Korea. Afterwards, the club will announce a more precise downtime.
Astonishingly, Son had already suffered an arm injury in the first minute of the game in Birmingham in a duel with Aston Villas Ezri Konsa (22). Afterwards, he remained on the field for the entire 90 minutes – even leading his team to victory with two goals!
For Tottenham, Son is already the second bitter failure in the offensive. Star coach José Mourinho (57) has already had to do without his top striker Harry Kane (26/tear of the thigh muscle).
In any case, this will not reduce Leipzig’s chances…
