The South Korean star returned from a hamstring injury to start the match against West Ham and is feeling the effects of a dramatic London derby. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says he was never intending to play Son against AZ on Thursday and he will be given time to recover from soreness ahead of the weekend.

In the span of seven second-half minutes, Tottenham burst to life against their London rivals West Ham in the early Premier League kick-off on Saturday. With the score at 1-1 heading into half-time, a 53rd-minute goal from Yves Bissouma kickstarted a whirlwind period for the home side — and one to forget for the Hammers.
