Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho does not expect Son Heung-min to play again this season after the South Korean forward fractured his arm during Sunday's 3-2 win at Aston Villa.

"I'm not going to count on him again this season," said Mourinho.

Earlier on Tuesday, a Spurs statement said Son - who has scored in his past five matches for the club - would be sidelined for "a number of weeks" with the injury.

Mourinho added: "If he plays two or three games then it's because he [Tottenham's press officer] is very optimistic, and I hope he is right. But, in my mind, I'm not thinking about that.

"We are going to miss him. The club wrote a nice statement. If I was the one to write the statement, I would write different."

"The situation couldn't be worse. That is obvious," added the Portuguese. "There is nothing we can do. We are going to play with the players we have available.

"I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench, now I don't have attacking options on the pitch.

"My thoughts are that Troy Parrott is not ready and [19-year-old English winger] Ryan Sessegnon is not a striker.

"No strikers, no market. Nothing. The only help we can have is our crowd, the Tottenham supporters. That is the only thing I ask because to the players I cannot ask more than what they are giving."
