Tottenham Hotspur informed on Tuesday that the striker has suffered a fracture in his right arm and will undergo an operation that will keep him out for "several weeks".

This news comes to José Mourinho before a crucial point in the season, where he will have to face RB Leipzig in the Champions League Round of 16, and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Son's absence adds to the long-term injury of Harry Kane, leaving the Tottenham attack greatly diminished.

'Spurs' decided not to bring in any pure forward in the winter and only signed winger Steven Bergwijn for the attacking position.
