• Son contacted Everton player before Spurs played in Belgrade• Forward says: ‘I feel really sorry. I still feel really bad about this’
Son Heung-min has revealed that he has swapped text messages with André Gomes after his role in the Everton midfielder’s serious ankle injury. The
Tottenham forward, who put his psychological issues behind him to score twice in Wednesday’s 4-0
Champions League win at Red Star Belgrade, contacted Gomes to express how sorry he felt for the player and his family.
It was Son’s trip during the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday that led to Gomes getting his studs caught underneath him, crashing into the Spurs full-back Serge Aurier and suffering a fractured dislocation of his ankle. Son did not want to disclose what Gomes had said to him in response.
