In between, they will host Israeli topflight side, Maccabi Haifa in one of the Europa League playoffs on Thursday, October 1.

And Mourinho, who felt disappointed after his team dropped points at home to Newcastle last weekend said:

"It's an injury. We'll have him out for a while. It's his hamstring. He [Son] is just the first one. I imagine Tuesday, Thursday another one, Sunday a couple more, but this is the respect Tottenham gets.

"Tottenham is a big club. Our history in terms of trophies is not as big as other clubs and I realise that I'm coaching with a lot of passion and love.

"I love the club and love to be here. I don't see myself leaving and going to another club because I love it so much, but I realise now the difference between clubs with a big history and not."

Legit.ng earlier reported that Premier League side Tottenham are interested in Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi and they are ready to go for his signature during the ongoing transfer market.

Jose Mourinho and his wards failed to win any title last season and they were also unable to finish among the top four teams on the final League table.

The former Chelsea manager wants to bolster his squad before the start of the coming Premier League season so that Spurs can compete for titles.
