Looks like he will be sidelined for some weeks...

Son will play up front and Lucas Moura will move into Son's spot. Annoying to lose him now with the CL knockouts coming up fairly soon (assuming this is a long absence), hopefully he'll be healthy again by the second leg.

but i think despite the loss of Kane, the Spurs are still better than the BVB. For me, Dortmund is just too young to beat them for reaching the next round.

Leicester in shambles.
Defensively they are so bad.

Fair play to Arsenal, but Chelsea have really hit a roadblock. They get in the final third and run out of ideas, when Hazard's not on form they're toothless.

Incredibly spawny win at the death for Spurs, but Alli went down with a worrying injury

We had better sign someone or we're basically admitting we're not going to compete for anything again this season. Kane, Alli, Moura, and Sissoko all out.

Not a bad set of results for Spurs

Chelsea always seem to get smashed by Bournemouth

Well the title race is opening up a bit with that 1-1 draw between Liverpool and West Ham, it was looking close to being done and dusted a little bit ago but things are progressing

I still think Liverpool will take it, but City are going to make it interesting

Son feels so underrated by the British,PL sportmedia with the amount of goals he scored last season,this season for a player that didn't have a clear place in starting eleven at first. For his very modern game technical winger skills he could play for a bigger team.

Uneven English player like Del Ali seems to get way more hype than Son,Eriksen. Same here in Swedish PL news,channels.

Son is a great player and Spurs fans adore him, but you're right that he's probably a bit underrated by the general public and media. To be fair, Dele Alli deserves the hype he gets as well, he's unplayable when he's in good form and makes some of the most intelligent runs I've seen from a midfielder since Lampard.

Sad to hear that they found Sala. I guess his family can at least have closure.

As a fan of Mourinho I gotta say him leaving Manchester United made wonders for the team. It's been very entertaining watching their games since then.

Manchester United have been amazing to watch. New life under Ole'. No more Mourinho is just a breathe of fresh air.

Continue on with this season and keep winning.

This summer seems very simple to me, Keep Ole'.
