Tottenham Hotspur are currently sweating on the fitness of Son Heung-min, who picked up a knock on Thursday night.

Spurs hosted Qarabag in their Europa League opener and ran out 3-0 winners, ⛄with Son starting the game.

However, the Tottenham captain went down midway throughꦿ the second half and received treatment, but could not continue.

Son walked gingerly ofꦚ꧒f the pitch as he made way for Timo Werner in the 71st minute of the game.

The Totte🍨nham boss said his player looked “tired” on Thursday night and then suggested he dꦏidn’t look too bad in his Friday afternoon presser.

On Friday, Postecoglou also shared who he felt could fill in ꦰfor Son in case he’s forced to miss any games.

Mikey Moore, Timo Werner and Dejan Kulusevski could fill in for Tottenham captain Son Heung-min

As per , the Spurs manager was asked whethe🦩r he feels Mikey Moore is not yeꦬt ready to fill in as a starter.

Postecoglou said this wasn’t the case, saying Moore is indeed an ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚoption, as are Werner and Deja▨n Kulusevski.

“No,𒀰 I wouldn’t say that,” Postecoglou replied when asked about Moore. “Yeah, we’ll see with Sonny.

“Obviously with Wilson out, we’re kind of limited ⛄and with Richy out because Richy can play there as well.

“We are kind of limited but Timo and Mikey can certainly c🐼ome into the frame.

“We 🍌have Deki Kulusevski who can play wide as well so we’ve got some options there, but firstly we’ll see how Sonny is.”

Moore is one of Tottenham’s most exciting academy graduates, doing so well at just 17 ꦆyears of age that he’s now part of Spurs’ first-te🦋am squad.

Son spoke at length about Moore earlier this week, saying he’s a “fantastic” young 🅺talent with the right attitude to succeed in the game.

“He’s showing good personali🌞ty 🌟and working hard, which is very important to me,” said the Spurs captain.

“Mikey is also coming to me most of the times and asking quꦑestions, which is very fun. I enjoy talking 🍌to him.

“He’s a fantastic boy and then I’m definitely sure 🍌that he can be a fantastic player. There’s no doubt because 🦩he has such amazing quality.”
