Tottenham will be sweating over the fitness of forward Son Heung-Min after the forward had to be substituted in a key Champions League clash against Marseille. The South Korean international came off in the first-half of the tie, having challenged for the ball in the air on the halfway line.
Former Newcastle defender Chancel Mbemba had also risen for the ball, with Son heading into his shoulder and going down on the pitch in bad shape. After receiving some treatment, the 30-year-old had to be helped off the pitch with some visible swelling on his face.
It represented a huge blow for the visitors as they lost one of their biggest threats on the counter for a game in which they were sitting deep. While that represented a problem in itself, the wider issue could go further than just the one Champions League group game for Antonio Conte.
