Son Heung-min was dropped to the bench for Tottenham’s Premier League game against Leicester City on Saturday.
The South Korea forward was the joint-top scorer in the English top flight last season with 23 goals – level with Mohamed Salah – but has failed to build on that momentum this term.
Son has not scored in his six league appearances, registering just one assist, while no player has registered more shots without finding the net (17).
Head coach Antonio Conte, who said no player was “undroppable” following Spurs’ Champions League defeat by Sporting CP in midweek, opted to name the forward on the bench for the visit of Leicester.
Dejan Kulusevski started, with Ryan Sessegnon, Davinson Sanchez and Clement Lenglet also included. Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal dropped to the bench, with Ben Davies not included in the squad.
