Son Heung-Min has sparked even more injury concern for Tottenham following their 2-1 defeat at home to West Ham.
The South Korean international was seen limping off the pitch in the final minutes of the game last night.
Spurs are currently without several key players, such as James Maddison and Micky van de Ven who will be out until the New Year.
To add club captain Son to that list of injured players would certainly be a worry for Ange Postecoglou’s side who are experiencing a run of bad form.
Opening up about his injury to Tottenham’s in-house media team, the 31-year-old said: ‘I had a big kick on my back, in the back of the bone, so we’ll see.’
