Immediately after Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League, manager Ange Postecoglou played down injury concerns around Son Heung-min – without ruling them out.
The 32-year-old Spurs captain needed treatment on the pitch before being substituted in the 71st minute, shortly after his shot was turned in by Dominic Solanke to seal victory.
He then walked off the pitch gingerly before being replaced by Timo Werner and, after the game, Postecoglou told BBC Sport: “He said he felt a bit tired but I haven’t spoken to him or the medical team yet.”
Archie Gray also appeared to pick up a knock to his ankle in the final moments of the match, but his manager again played down concerns after he made a run in the final minutes to cut out a Qarabag chance.
“He didn’t stop running though, so it can’t be that bad,” he said.
Postecoglou was more assertive when denying goalscorer Brennan Johnson had picked up any kind of injury.
