When Son Heung-min will be back in Tottenham training after South Korea Asian Cup exit

Son Heung-min is due back at Tottenham's Enfield training base on Thursday, football.london understands. Departing the club following the win over Bournemouth on New Year's Eve to represent South Korea at the Asian Cup, the attacker's time at the tournament came to an end on Tuesday following their semi-final defeat to Jordan.

It means that the Spurs captain will be back at Hotspur Way in time ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion. Ange Postecoglou could also potentially have Yves Bissouma to call upon again this weekend after Mali's Africa Cup of Nations exit at the hands of Ivory Coast.

Pape Matar Sarr was the first Tottenham player to return from their international commitments after Senegal's shock Round of 16 exit against Ivory Coast. The midfielder returned to the field for Tottenham against Everton last Saturday as he came on from the bench in the closing stages of the 2-2 draw.

Amid question marks over when exactly Son would return to north London from his Asian Cup exploits, Postecoglou and Spurs finally received clarity on Tuesday evening following South Korea's 2-0 defeat to Jordan. Going behind in the 53rd minute following Yazan Al-Naimat's goal, Jordan then doubled their lead 13 minutes later courtesy of Musa Al-Taamari.

Speaking after the game, Son said: «I'm devastated at the result. Jordan are having an amazing journey this tournament, it's incredible and they deserve it. They're fighting until the end and it's very disappointing for us.»

He added: «I don’t know what to say really. I am so sorry. The players did their best. I’m very sorry that the game is ended like this by mistakes.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr could be about to answer Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham
