Manager Anji Postecoglou made the comments during a pre-match press conference against Ipswich Town.
He said Son Heung-min has had a recurrence since his return from injury, and he doesn't want to go back to that cycle.
He also added that he should continue to protect Son because he cannot allow more injuries to Son's position.
After a thigh injury, Son Heung-min was replaced 55 minutes after recording his third assist of the season against Aston Villa, and later left the ground after playing only 45 minutes against the Europa League.
