Tottenham face nervous wait on Heung-min Son's fitness, with the forward having 'potentially suffered a fractured cheekbone and a concussion', which could rule him OUT of Sunday’s CRUNCH match vs Liverpool

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte rewarded his players with two days off after their heroic Champions League comeback in Marseille.

However, there is concern over forward Heung-min Son’s fitness as the forward underwent tests to determine whether he suffered a fractured cheekbone in a sickening collision with Chancel Mbemba.

Sportsmail has learned there were fears immediately after the game that Son suffered a break of the zygomatic bone on the left side of his face in the brutal aerial challenge during Spurs’ crucial Champions League triumph on Tuesday night.
