Jamie Carragher has slammed the 'absolutely disgusting' timing of the Qatar World Cup as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min faces a race against time to overcome an injury.

South Korea's captain was forced off during Spurs' Champions League match at Marseille on Tuesday night after suffering a nasty eye injury.

Son took a blow to his left cheekbone during his team's 2-1 win and had to leave the field as his eye swelled up - though he was able to celebrate their progress to the last-16 afterwards.
