Mourinho doesn't expect Son to play again for Tottenham this season

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says he won't be counting on Son Heung-min again this season after seeing the forward sidelined with a fractured arm.

The club announced on Tuesday that Son will undergo surgery on the issue, before starting a rehabilitation programme which will keep him out of action for a "number of weeks".

The South Korea international had been filling in up front for Spurs in the absence of Harry Kane, who sustained a serious hamstring injury in January.

Kane is not expected to return to the pitch until April, and Mourinho was unable to bring in an extra forward as cover for a talismanic figure during the winter transfer window.
