Tottenham manager "Son Heung-min, it's hard to play against Brighton."

Son Heung-min, who suffered a thigh injury, is also expected to miss the away game against Brighton.

Tottenham manager Postecoglou said on the club's website, "I don't think Son Heung-min will be able to join Brighton in the away game."

"I'm trying to recover quickly from the injury, but it's too early to return to the game this weekend," he said.

Son Heung-min also missed the Europa League second leg against Ferencvaros following the sixth round of the league against Manchester United, which increases his chances of missing three consecutive games.

Earlier, the national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo replaced Hong Hyun-seok after excluding Son Heung-min from the call-up list for the two consecutive A matches in October.
