Ange Postecoglou has offered new insight into Heung-min Son’s recovery, as Tottenham gears up for a pivotal week in their campaign against Bodo/Glimt.
The club has grappled with a significant injury crisis this season, with over ten first-team players unavailable at one stage.
The early-season injury woes have eased, but in recent weeks, a few Spurs players have picked up minor knocks.
Heung-min Son has been dealing with a foot injury, which sidelined him for the first leg of their semi-final clash against Bodo/Glimt.
Despite their injuries, Son and Radu Dragusin were at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to cheer on their teammates during the match against Glimt.
Meanwhile, Lucas Bergvall suffered a knock and was spotted on crutches. It has now been confirmed that Bergvall may be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Ange Postecoglou Shares Update on Heung-min Son’s Fitness
While Bergvall’s injury is a significant setback given his pivotal role in Tottenham’s midfield, Postecoglou has offered a more encouraging update on the fitness of club captain Heung-min Son.
The Australian coach revealed that Son is making progress and has returned to training on the pitch, though his availability for Thursday remains uncertain.
Speaking to football.london, he said: “Sonny is still working hard, he’s out on the grass, and we’ll see if he’s available for Thursday.”
Despite Son’s absence, Spurs delivered a solid 3-1 victory against Glimt, with Richarlison stepping up to contribute an assist.

Spurs Must Consider the Risk of Playing Son on Artificial Turf
With the second leg against Bodo/Glimt set to take place on Norway’s artificial pitch, doubts linger over whether Heung-min Son will be risked in such conditions.
Should the 32-year-old be involved on Thursday, it’s likely he would come off the bench as Ange Postecoglou and the medical team aim for a cautious approach to his return.
This could open the door for Mathys Tel or Wilson Odobert to start, especially with Richarlison’s history of injuries also making him a potential risk on the artificial surface.
