Ange Postecoglou has provided an injury update on Son Heung-min andDestiny Udogie ahead of the clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.

Spurs captain Son was subbed off in the 3-0 win over Qarabag last week due to a suspected hamstring issue. He then missed the weekend clash against Manchester United as well as Thursday's win against Ferencvarosi. Udogie also missed the match in Hungary after only playing the first half against Man Utd on Sunday.

Speaking to the media at Hotspur Way on Friday morning, Postecoglou said: "Fairly tired but physically no issues from last night's game. Destiny we think will be okay, training today and tomorrow.

"Sonny is unlikely, he's pushing hard but it is too soon." On Son playing for South Korea next week, the Australian head coach added: "If he doesn't play for us, it doesn't seem like he's close, it makes sense [to not too]."

Postecoglou was also asked about Dominic Solanke and the striker's England call-up this week. The former Bournemouth man last appeared for his country seven years ago but could feature under Lee Carsley against Greece and Finland.

"I don't know about surprised, with Dom he's had to work awfully hard in his career," Postecoglou said. "It's important to all young players that the trajectory doesn't always go in a linear fashion.

"He was at big clubs, didn't get started but didn't deter him went to Bournemouth and did well. It's all down to him. I've had him for a month, I've had zero to do with his call-up, it's down to him."
