Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Spurs captain Son Heung-min is “definitely” ready to start on Saturday.
The Tottenham boss, speaking to football.london on Friday, also said Yves Bissouma is good to go following his return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Son is back at Spurs after returning from the Asian Cup following South Korea’s semi-final elimination at the hands of Jordan on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old, who led his nation in every minute of the competition which included two knockouts that went to extra-time, reported back at Hotspur Way on Thursday.
When players return from international duty straight into the thick of club action, it’s never certain whether they’ll play right away or maybe get a bit more rest.

However, in the case of Son and Bissouma, both are raring to go, according to Postecoglou.
“Definitely Sonny and Biss,” Postecoglou replied when asked which of the returning players would start. “They trained well.
“Gio trained all week but he’s obviously missed a fair bit of football so we’ll have to see how he is and whether we give him another week or not.”
Great news as Son Heung-min available to start for Tottenham
Son registered 12 goals and five assists in his 20 Premier League appearances for Spurs before departing for Qatar in early January.
The ‘majestic‘ forward has been missed and it’s great to have him back at Tottenham as they look to bounce back after just one win in their last four in all competitions.
Indeed, Postecoglou’s team situation is great at present. He can now call upon Son, Bissouma and Sarr, who have all returned from international duty, and the prior injury situation has eased massively.
Spurs take on Brighton in a 3pm kickoff at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
