<h2>Son injury: What's the latest?</h2>
<p>Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou revealed in midweek that Son was feeling 'sore' after the win against West Ham last weekend.</p>
<p>He was left out of their Europa League squad on Thursday, although Postecoglou insisted this was the plan anyway given Son had just returned from an injury niggle.</p>
<p>But speaking at his press conference ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace, Spurs' boss said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Sonny’s still not right, still not feeling 100 per cent.</p>
<p>“He won’t train today [Friday], so he’s unlikely for this weekend and we’ll see after that.”</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Best Son FPL replacements: BigManBakar's favourite options</h2>

<div id="m_-667183321465193919gmail-:oi">
<h3><strong>Keep and use your bench</strong></h3>
<p>If you have eight playable attackers in your team, this is an option you might want to take.</p>
<p>There is every chance Son is back next week, in which case it may make sense to keep him.</p>
<p>A lot of Gameweek 6 wildcarders have <strong>Antoine Semenyo</strong> as a back-up and he's not the worst option to field this week.</p>
<p>This is exactly why you have a robust bench - so that you can bring it into play when need be.</p>
<p>If you own Son, it's presumably because Spurs have a good run of fixtures until Gameweek 11.</p>
<p>Even if the South Korean international misses out this week, he still has favourable home games in the next two fixtures - against Aston Villa and then the big one against Ipswich in Gameweek 11, where he is a potential captaincy option.</p>
<p>The risk you run here is that you're gambling on his fitness. If Postecoglou decides to protect him, especially considering that he has just come back from a hamstring injury, then selling might be the better play.</p>
