Son Heung-min drops Tottenham injury return hint with two-word message ahead of West Ham

Son Heung-min has delivered a quick but hopeful message for Tottenham supporters on social media on Sunday.

The Spurs captain has missed the club’s previous three games with a hamstring injury suffered late on against Qarabag in the Europa League last month. That problem also meant the 32-year-old missed out on South Korea’s World Cup qualifying matches against Jordan and Iraq during this fortnight.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou had suggested that Son was getting closer ahead of the Premier League match at Brighton last weekend but was not in a position to play eventually in the 3-2 defeat at the Amex Stadium. The Australian added that that would mean his skipper would not be fit enough to travel to captain his country.
