Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has played down concerns over the health of a star forward.

South Korean striker Heung-min Son's fitness has been a concern for Spurs fans.

A groin problem means that Son is not training fully, but he did play in a friendly for South Korea against Vietnam last week.

Postecoglou told the London Evening Standard: "Look, as long as he's still scoring goals, I don't care mate.

"He doesn't have to train, he doesn't have to do anything! He's scored six goals [this season] and he scored for Korea at the weekend.

"Sonny is who he is and he's got to where he is because of the person he is and I'm certainly not going to change any part of that mate.

"Sometimes we want to change people but we don't understand that the thing that has brought them to where they are is because of the people they are. So I'm not changing anything in Sonny. If anything you can learn from people like that.

"That's the beauty of me being in the position I am; you come across different people every time you go on this kind of journey and you learn from all of them.

"The way he takes on the responsibility of not just his whole nation, and he takes it very seriously, I think it's commendable. Beyond commendable. It's great.

"We've seen players who go the other way with fame and fortune and kind of lose their way a bit.

"But Sonny's still very, very grounded. He knows what's important to him and that's his country, his football club, his career.

"In terms of physical wellbeing, he's well looked after here. He knows his body well. And he'll continue to perform at the highest level."
