Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
getting a bad feeling about this, clicked on here with my heart in my mouth for any news.
No news with us tends to be bad news when it comes to injuries

Its all mind games by Jose, Come Sunday our Front 3 will be Son, Bale and Kane with Mbappe our new backup striker on the bench!
What is bad news though? 6-8 weeks?
Seeing how we've had no news I assume it's between 3-6 weeks. If the scan showed very good or very bad news we would already know.
I'm also thinking Jose is fooling everyone. Don't ask me why.
Son to miss the next 2 and be ready for Utd?
But as per some of the comments.. we don't know when the list was submitted..so could have been before the Newcastle game..
:avbpray: That would be a crazy lift if there is no news and But then he is in when the line ups come out.
Here is an article I stumbled upon over the summer.

Adrian Clarke looks at players who have been crucial to their team's tactical set-ups this season.
Son Heung-min (TOT)
The South Korean energises Tottenham Hotspur in a way that no team-mate can.
Son's purposeful running and quality in front of goal are key features that Spurs miss when he is not in the side.
His versatility means that while he is at his best on the left wing, he is also effective on the right or as a striker.
In all competitions, the 27-year-old has netted five goals in five starts when played up front this term.
High speed
Son is the joint-quickest forward at Spurs, with his top speed this season of 35km/h matching that of Dele Alli.
But he is in a league of his own when it comes to making high-speed runs.
No player in the Spurs squad makes anywhere near as many sprints as he does.
This penetration helps him get into dangerous positions more frequently than any team-mate, touching the ball on average 6.69 times per 90 minutes in the opposition box.

From a tactical point of view, Son also offers balance to Jose Mourinho's starting XI.
When Serge Aurier starts at right-back, the Portuguese head coach will often select a more defensive option on the left.
He does this safe in the knowledge that Son has the capability to cover that flank on his own.
His left-back can then drop off and make up a back three when required, making Spurs less vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Winning influence
Spurs' record with Son in the side is considerably better than when he is not.
They have scored more goals and won more matches with him playing.
Son's impact on Spurs
Despite missing nearly a third of his side's matches this season, Son still tops a number of key categories for Spurs.
His 30 chances created, 51 shots and 29 shots on target are all more than any team-mate.
He also averages a goal every 193 minutes, second only to the 160 of Harry Kane, and is arguably the team's most competent finisher.
Comfortable shooting with either foot or attacking balls in the air, Son has scored a variety of goals across the campaign.
Son is perfectly suited to his dual role of being both a goalscorer and a creator.
Alongside his nine goals he has set up another seven, the joint-fourth most in the Premier League.
These qualities coupled with Mourinho's strategy have made Son an invaluable member of the Spurs side.

.Maybe, also tought that would be to avoid play with South Korea, but it wouldn't make sense to lose so many games for that.
Doesn't look like SK have any games until November though... ?
Jeez so Sonny might not even be injured lol.
what do you mean?
In the Europe league squad and no updates. Maybe Mourinho fucked up on a 'tactical substitutions?
.....Maybe Sonny complained of a tightness and Jose didn't wanna risk injuring him.
