Son may be able to play in face mask
Obviously, losing the 30-year-old for any period of time would be a huge blow for Tottenham. But with the World Cup just around the corner, Son cannot afford to suffer a serious injury.

The news came through while Gold was filming his latest video on Spurs. And while he could not offer any further insight into how long Son will be sidelined for, he did suggest that he had received some better news.
“I’ve just been told that he should be allowed to play with a mask on,” . “But it all depends on his recovery and the recovery period and how that works for him.
“So that’s a little bit of good news that I am able to add in there that he should hopefully be allowed to play with a mask. Fingers crossed that might not be too serious in that respect in terms of length of time.”
Tottenham fans will be keeping everything crossed for positive update
Gold makes a point of not knowing how long Son will be out for. But obviously, he will presumably be back sooner should he be able to wear a mask.

Hopefully, the next update on how long he will be out for is a much more encouraging one.
