Ange Postecoglou delivers Tottenham injury update on Heung-min Son ahead of Bodo/Glimt
Ange Postecoglou has delivered an important injury update ahead of Tottenham’s Europa League semi-final clash against Bodo/Glimt, with key questions lingering over the fitness of Heung-min Son.
On Thursday evening, Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt to north London for the first of two legs in the semi-final of the Europa League.
Tottenham have endured a tough season riddled with inconsistency, particularly in the Premier League.
Sunday’s outing away to Liverpool was another low point, with Ange Postecoglou’s side shipping five goals in a miserable 5-1 defeat against the newly crowned champions.
Despite that performance, Postecoglou was quick to stress that the Liverpool defeat won’t affect the mood in the Tottenham camp ahead of Thursday’s European tie.
There are, however, a few injury concerns coming into this one. Heung-min Son is touch and go after returning to training on Friday, but there’s still doubt over his involvement. The hope is that, if he misses out this week, he’ll be available for the return leg.
The only other absentee for Tottenham remains Radu Dragusin, who continues his recovery from an ACL injury sustained earlier this year.

Ange Postecoglou has now addressed the media with a further update on the condition of his Tottenham squad ahead of Thursday night’s game.
He said: “Son won’t feature tomorrow night. He’s still separate from the group and hopefully we can get him back soon.”
On the rest of the Tottenham squad and their fitness, he added: “I think we’re in a good place. Looking at the output of players we’ve got some good minutes into players who needed it and managed the others.
“Players like Romero and Van de Ven have missed so much of the season, it’s not just about getting back but how you manage when they come back. Dom played 60 minutes, Madders 45. They’re all in a good place physically.”
