Ange Postecoglou drops early team news and confirms 31-year-old is ready to start despite injury scare

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed captain Son Heung-min is fit and ready for the game against Luton Town despite earlier reports that he might not be ready for the game.

Spurs are unbeaten in eight Premier League games, winning six and drawing two and with no side currently on a longer run without defeat.

The last few days had been challenging on the injury front with Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon both ruled out of the game. There had been doubts over the availability of captain Son Heung-min who was withdrawn 20 minutes to end the game against Liverpool but manager Ange Postecoglou says the South Korean.

“Manor Solomon unfortunately during training got a significant injury to his knee, he’ll miss some significant game time over the next few months.

“That’s disappointing because he was contributing for us already and growing into his role. With Ivan Perisic already down, it’s not ideal when you lose a player in that position. 

“Brennan Johnson is close but he’s not quite 100% and with the international break, we’re kind of hoping he’ll get that time during that to be available straight after. Everyone else from last week is OK. Sonny’s fine. He trained the last two days, no problem.”

Luton have won just one of their past 10 home league games against London sides , drawn five and lost four- with that victory coming against QPR in October last season.

Ange Postecoglou has changed the mood around the club and will hope they get all three points at Kenilworth Road.
