Spurs fans have been reacting to the news that Heung-Min Son has undergone surgery on his fractured arm and that a return in six weeks is the best-case scenario for the winger.
The 27-year-old suffered the injury in last weekend’s 3-2 win over Aston Villa, with Jose Mourinho later suggesting that the South Korean international could miss the rest of the season while he recovers. However, a tweet from sports journalist Jonathan Veal has suggested that the former Bayer Leverkusen man could be back within six weeks following his surgery.
Son has been in excellent form for the North London club so far this season, averaging an impressive 7.37 rating in all competitions (as per WhoScored), having contributed 16 goals. Mourinho will no doubt be keen to see the winger return before the end of the season, perhaps alongside fellow injury-hit striker Harry Kane, as he looks to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Do you think Son will be back playing in six weeks?
Yes
No

I’d have him back in 6 weeks than lose him the entire season

Why wait nearly a week ? And no doctors in London Might sound pedantic but those 2 or 3 days could end up crucial if he misses Sheffield United away.

Any reason why he went to Seoul? Seems odd

Maybe longer due to it recurring. He had broken the bone there before 2-3 years ago. So maybe longer now.

Come back as soon as you are able Sonny. Stay well.

These Spurs fans are clearly hoping to see Son back in the first team as soon as possible and have wished him all the best with his recovery.
What do we think?
If Son can be back within six weeks then it will be great news for Jose Mourinho, as the South Korean’s goal contributions could potentially prove decisive in where the North London club finishes in their respective Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
