Antonio Conte's men went on to book their berth in the Champions League last-16 round with a last-gasp victory as second-half goals from Clement Lenglet, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg overturned Mbemba's trike in the first half. 

However, the injury to Son is a cause of concern for Tottenham as they gear up to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. The blow to his head will also worry South Korean fans, given that the Qatar World Cup 2022 is just three weeks away.

Assistant head coach Cristian Stellini, standing in for the banned Antonio Conte, said, "At this moment, we don't know. We have to wait for a medical assessment. Sonny feels better now. I saw him in the dressing room. He celebrated with us. We are not sure if he is concussed. It is Son's face. His eye is a bit swollen."
