Heung-min Son has handed Tottenham a boost ahead of the new Premier League season with a return to training.

The forward broke his right forearm after landing awkwardly while playing for South Korea in Doha in June.

The 24-year-old underwent surgery and was expected to be sidelined for three months.

On Thursday, Son returned to the training pitch for the first time in over six weeks to rejoin the first-team squad for a non-contact session.

Tottenham are currently without Danny Rose, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since January but hopes to return before the end of August.

Erik Lamela is the only other long-term absentee, the Argentine undergoing surgery on both hips and has a return schedule of October to complete 12 months out of action.

Spurs begin their Premier League campaign, with their home games at Wembley Stadium, away to returning Premier League outfit Newcastle United on Sunday, August 13.
