Ange Postecoglou said he was ‘half hopeful’ that Heung-Min Son could return to action against Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (2.15pm UK).
The skipper has been sidelined for our last seven matches with a foot issue – an injury that kept him out of both legs of our UEL semi-final against Bodo/Glimt.
Ange was keen to point out in the build up to Thursday’s second leg in Norway that Sonny was ‘progressing well’ and now, good news, with the UEL final against Manchester United on the horizon (21 May), he is closing in on that return.
Speaking to the media at Hotspur Way on Saturday morning, Ange reported: “Everyone got through Thursday okay, and we're half hopeful that we can get Sonny some minutes tomorrow, he'll be the only one who can really come back in.”
Longer-term injuries James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Radu Dragusin are all out for the season.
