Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to the news that Heung-min Son is to undergo surgery after sustaining a fracture to his right arm.

The South Korean superstar was the hero against Aston Villa, striking late to seal a 3-2 win and all three points for Spurs at Villa Park.

The 27-year-old finished the game, but The Daily Mail have reported he actually sustained the damage in the first minute of the match.

Spurs say on their official website that Son is to have surgery this week and that medical staff will be reviewing management options for the player’s rehabilitation.

No specific timeframe has been placed for his return, but the club anticipate at this stage he will be out for ‘a number of weeks’.

It is a hammer blow for the north Londoners, who lost Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko to injury at the start of the year.

Son’s importance to the side always swells whenever Kane is missing through injury, but now Jose Mourinho must find a way to replace the man who steps up in the England captain’s absence.

Steven Bergwijn, Dele Alli and Lucas Moura are surely the likeliest candidates to feature up top and/or out on the left with Son missing.
