Tottenham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo confirms that Son Heung-min, Steven Bergwijn and Oliver Skipp are all doubtful for Saturday's Premier League clash away at Crystal Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that Son Heung-min, Steven Bergwijn and Oliver Skipp are all doubtful for Saturday's Premier League clash away at Crystal Palace, as the trio returned from international duty with injuries.

Son did not feature in South Korea's final match against Lebanon as a precaution after picking up a minor calf problem in training.

Dutch winger Bergwijn was seen wearing an ice pack round his ankle after being substituted midway through the second half in the 6-1 win over Turkey, while England Under-21 midfielder Skipp was forced off late in the game against Kosovo with a groin issue.

Speaking about all three players to the press ahead of this weekend's game with the Eagles, Nuno said: "Some of our players came with issues. Sonny is not so well. Let's wait for the club to make the announcement.

"Let's wait and see. We have to assess, speak with the medical department and make the decision on the squad for tomorrow."

Versatile left-midfielder Ryan Sessegnon is another first-team member who is unlikely to feature on Saturday, after the 21-year-old picked up a knock in training with the England Under-21s.
