Tottenham Hotspur have provided an update on the injury suffered to Son Heung-Min ahead of the clash against Liverpool.
The Reds take on Spurs in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. It will see Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to north London looking to get back to winning ways in the top flight.
Liverpool’s last league game saw them lose to Leeds United at Anfield, but they followed that up with a 2-0 win over Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Tottenham were also in Champions League action, as they beat Marseille 2-1 to secure qualification to the knockout stages. However, they were dealt a blow early on with Son being forced to be withdrawn.

The South Korea international suffered what appeared to be a head injury, and was immediately substituted. Son appeared dazed as he was helped off the field by Spurs medical personnel and went straight down the tunnel as he was replaced by Yves Bissouma.
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte was serving a touchline ban, and as a result his assistant, Cristian Stellini, stepped in for press conference duties. The Italian gave an update on Son’s condition, with a hopeful update.
“In this moment, we don't know,” said Stellini. “We have to wait for a medical assessment, and we have to wait until tomorrow.
“Sonny feels better now. I saw him in the dressing room. He celebrated with us. So we will wait for tomorrow.”
Under FA guidelines, players who suffer from a head injury must not be allowed to return to play for at least six days after the incident. This will come down to the severity of the severity of the injury, which will be determined by the Tottenham medical team over the next couple of days.
