Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a major setback with superstar Heung-min Son set to miss several weeks of action owing to Asian Cup commitments beginning in January.
This season, the South Korean forward has scored 10 goals in 15 Premier League games.
Son‘s absence leaves a vacuum in Spurs’ lineup during a critical period, with the Asian Cup set from January 12 to February 10.
And, as one of the favourites, South Korea is projected to go far in the tournament, which could result in a lengthy absence.
Spurs have three games scheduled in January, including an FA Cup encounter that, if won, will be followed by another match at the end of the month.
He will miss two games in February, against Everton and Brighton, but the club hopes he will be available for the meeting against the Seagulls.
He has established himself as one of the team’s most influential players, thus his absence is a huge setback for Ange.
While Richarlison seems to have rediscovered his form again against Newcastle, scoring a brace, Son’s absence might be devastating.
Spurs must sign a striker in January, and they are allegedly interested in either a left winger or a forward.
