Huge injury update ahead of Manchester United vs Tottenham fixture with star 'ruled out'
Man Utd face Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and there is some early team news.
Tottenham have reportedly been handed a huge injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Daily Mail claim Heung-min Son will miss the match due to a suspected hamstring injury, with Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski expected to start in attack alongside Dominic Solanke.
Son was an initially deemed an injury doubt for Sunday's clash and reports suggest the Tottenham captain has now been ruled out of the match.
Son suffered the setback during Tottenham's Europa League 3-0 win over Qarabag in midweek. The South Korean received treatment on the following their third goal and was then replaced by Timo Werner.
Speaking after the victory, manager Ange Postecoglou said: “I haven't spoken to him. He said he felt a bit tired but I haven't spoken to him or medicals yet.”
Son has played every single minute of the Premier League campaign to date, scoring two goals so far. His absence would be another blow for a Tottenham side who are already without Richarlison for the match.
The Tottenham captain has played 18 times against United during his Spurs career and, despite facing four teams on more occasions, has lost more games (11) against them than any other side in his career. The 32-year-old has also only scored four times across those 18 matches.
