Tottenham star set to miss Nottingham Forest clash after undergoing surgery

Tottenham star Son Heung-min is expected to miss this week's Carabao Cup tie against Nottingham Forest as he battles to be fit for the World Cup.

The Reds take on Spurs at the City Ground in a third round tie on Wednesday evening (7.45pm kick-off). That is set to come too soon for Son, who sustained a fracture around his left eye during the 2-1 Champions League win at Marseille following a collision with Chancel Mbemba

It has left the South Korea ace in a race against time to be available for the tournament in Qatar, which gets under way on November 20. The 30-year-old had surgery on Friday and therefore missed Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
