Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is set to miss several weeks of action after sustaining a fracture to his right arm while playing against Aston Villa last weekend.
Tottenham posted an update on its website Tuesday saying Son will undergo surgery this week and will take a number of weeks for the 27-year-old forward to return to the ground.
In last Sunday's match, Son scored twice, extending his goal scoring streak to five consecutive matches, making him the first Asia-born player to achieve more than 50 goals at the top level of the English football Premier League.
His team is scheduled to run through some important games without him, including the Champions League round of 16 against RB Leipzig on Wednesday.■
