Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that club captain Son Heung-min won't take part in the midweek UEFA Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar. The 32-year-old forward only recently returned from a hamstring injury suffered in Tottenham's first Europa League match of the season against Qarabağ FK.

Tottenham are ‘unlikely’ to have captain Son Heung-min available for Sunday’s trip to Crystal Palace. Son missed the 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday with “muscle soreness” after he scored in last weekend’s win against West Ham.

Son, who missed South Korea’s World Cup qualifiers this month following a hamstring injury, felt sore after scoring in last weekend’s win over West Ham United.
