# Spurs fans react as Son requires surgery on arm injury

Tottenham Hotspur are suffering from another serious injury blow ahead of their visit to Chelsea this weekend, with Heung-min Son the club’s latest high-profile casualty.

Son scored twice in Sunday’s [3-2 triumph](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51431287) against Aston Villa at Villa Park but picked up a frustrating injury whilst he was at it.

Tottenham have [confirmed](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2020/february/son-injury-update/) that the South Korean forward requires surgery on a fractured arm, expected to keep him out of action for a number of weeks.

Jose Mourinho is already without club captain Harry Kane through a [ruptured tendon in his hamstring](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2020/january/harry-kane-injury-latest/), so Son’s absence should come as a major blow.

Chelsea host Mourinho’s side this weekend on the back of their disappointing [2-0 defeat](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51439302) to Manchester United last night.

Another loss could see Frank Lampard and co. drop down to [7th in the Premier League,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) so it’s a big occasion.

Plenty of Spurs fans have been in meltdown on Twitter following the surprising announcement ahead of Saturday’s crunch clash at Stamford Bridge…
