Mourinho gives return date for injured Tottenham star Son

Heung-min Son is expected to return from injury after the upcoming international break as coach Jose Mourinho used the news to send a message to national team managers about match time for his players.

The South Korean international injured his hamstring during the first half of Spurs' 1-1 Premier League draw with Newcastle on Sunday, with Mourinho declaring post-match the attacker would be "out for a while".

Following Tottenham's penalty shootout win against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup last-16, the Portuguese manager revealed Son would likely return after the upcoming international break - which will see the North London side host West Ham on October 17.
