Jose Mourinho has given an update on Son Heung-min and expects the forward to return from injury after the international break.
Mourinho and Tottenham fans would be pleased to hear that the injury to Son Heung-min is not as worse as feared.
The South Korean forward was replaced at half-time during Spurs’ clash against Newcastle at St. James’ Park on Sunday.
After the game, Mourinho confirmed Son was out with a hamstring injury and he expected the player to be out for a ‘long time’.
After Tottenham’s penalty shootout victory against Chelsea on Tuesday, Mourinho revealed the 28-year-old should be back in about a fortnight.
“I expect to have him back after the international period and you give me the opportunity to speak about it,” Mourinho said in his post-match press conference as quoted by Goal.
The Spurs boss also took the opportunity to tell national managers to consider the amount of matches his players have played in a short time while making their decisions at international level.
“I hope the national team coaches they have their data and they realise how many minutes Tottenham players have played this week and I hope they care about the players and they protect them because Tottenham players this week they have an incredible amount of minutes and work and it’s very, very dangerous.”
Son could now be back in action for Tottenham when they host West Ham after the international break on October 17.
