Ange Postecoglou is unsure if Tottenham captain Heung-min Son will be fit for the first leg of the club’s huge forthcoming Europa League semi-final tie against Bodo/Glimt.

Son last played in the first-leg draw on April 10 and has also missed the back-to-back Premier League defeats by Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

“Squad-wise, no change from the other day,” the Tottenham boss told in-house club media as he again plans to rest players on Merseyside ahead of that crunch semi-final tie. “All the guys got through it [the Nottingham Forest game] okay.

“In terms of rehab, the only one is Sonny who is still going through that process, improving but not ready for Sunday.

“With the programme we have coming up, Thursday obviously is a big night for us, so it will be a matter of playing a few [against Liverpool] that need the game time and others we feel may need less exposure, we’ll have a look at it.”

Tottenham welcome reigning Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt to north London for the semi-final first leg next Thursday, with the return fixture coming seven days later after a top-flight derby away at West Ham.

Asked if Son could be fit for the first leg against Bodo, Postecoglou said: “We'll see. He's improving. First time he's got out on the grass today and he said it's better than what it was. It's a day-by-day situation."

Quizzed on if his captain needed treatment or rest, he added: “Bit of both. It was obviously the foot element, because it's weight-bearing we needed to give some rest, some time off it and give him some treatment.

“The main thing was to get him off his feet to give him time to get back.”

Alongside Son, Romanian defender Radu Dragusin is Tottenham’s only other known injury absentee at present having undergone surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament back in February.
