Maurico Pochettino is excited by the arrival of Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League ahead of their Saturday showdown

Son has not trained since and has been resting while the majority of his team-mates have been playing for their national sides over the past week.

Spurs will also be missing midfielders Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb, who are also still struggling with injury, as well as the suspended Eric Dier for Jurgen Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool.

Head coach Maurcio Pochettino said: "Nabil Bentaleb, Ryan Mason and Heung-Min Son are still out but this is the same from a few weeks ago and this is the news.

"Son's injury is in his foot but it's okay. We are happy with him and maybe in one or two weeks he will be back. He's near to coming back and start training with the group.
