Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min injury fears and triple Tottenham boost for Ange Postecoglou
The countdown is now on for Tottenham's return to Premier League action following the conclusion of the second international break of the campaign. Having seen a number of players head across the globe to represent their respective countries, the international break came to an end on Tuesday evening.
As ever, there were a number of positives and negatives to take from the fixtures for Ange Postecoglou and his Spurs coaching staff. Here we take a look at some of the main Tottenham talking points from the latest round of international matches.
It all appeared to be going incredibly well on the international front for Postecoglou until Tuesday. Having seen Son Heung-min get a much-needed breather as he was an unused substitute in South Korea's 4-0 friendly win over Tunisia last Friday, the Tottenham ace returned to Jurgen Klinsmann's XI for their match against Vietnam.
A comfortable win in the end for the Taegeuk Warriors as they recorded a 6-0 triumph, Son registered a goal and an assist in his 90 minutes on the pitch. However, there was a scare for all connected with Tottenham as the 31-year-old could be seen limping down the tunnel at the break and also showing signs of discomfort during the closing stages.
Speaking to the media after the contest, Son was asked about the issue and spoke about his preparation for the game and why he needed to play.
«Injuries are an inevitable part of living as a footballer,» he said. «I was worried about whether to play in today’s game, but I couldn’t accept coming to Korea and not playing in front of the fans.
