The South Korean has been in superb form this season, scoring or assisting 29 goals, and has filled the hole left by the injured Harry Kane.


But much to the frustration of Mauricio Pochettino, the forward had to watch on from the stands as Ajax claimed a 1-0 win in the first-leg of their semi-final showdown.















Why did Heung-Min Son not play?


Son was suspended for the first leg tie against Ajax.


He picked up yellow cards against City, Inter and PSV Eindhoven in this season’s Champions League to receive an automatic one-match ban.


Son will be free to return to the Tottenham line-up for the second leg in Amsterdam on Wednesday, May 8.

What has Son said?


Following their dramatic night against City, Son said: “I try to be positive but missing this semi-final makes me so sad, so disappointed.


“I’m a very positive guy, I’m very comfortable with the lads so I’ll probably be more nervous watching in the stands than when I play.


“But I trust my team, I trust my players, I trust this stadium so I’m not worried about it.”
