Tottenham Champions League blow as Son Heung-min suffers head injury against Marseille

Tottenham star Heung-Min Son had to come off injured in the first-half of his side's key Champions League clash against Marseille on Tuesday night. The South Korean was on the end of a shoulder to the face from former Newcastle defender Chancel Mbemba on the halfway line.

The forward came off the worse, with his face appearing to be heavily swollen as he was helped off of the pitch by medical staff and had to be replaced. It represents a huge blow to Spurs, who are eyeing a huge result that would confirm their status in the Champions League knockout rounds.

Antonio Conte's men started the day top of the group and have secured European football for after the new year, due to their head-to-head record. However, should they lose to the French side, they could finish third and drop into the Europa League instead of the Champions League.
