[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min has suffered a right arm injury, and Valencia's Lee Kang-in has also been excluded from the Champions League Atalanta match squad due to muscle cramps.

Valencia will play the first leg of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Atalanta at Stadio San Siro in Milan, Italy, on the 20th (Korean time).

Lee Kang-in, who participated in team training for this match, complained of muscle pain in his left leg.

The Spanish media outlet 'AS' reported on the 18th, "Lee Kang-in was injured in his leg during training," adding, "Lee Kang-in returned to training after receiving treatment. It is expected to be a temporary muscle cramp rather than a serious injury."

Valencia did not include Lee Kang-in, who was temporarily in poor condition, in the Atalanta match squad.

Tottenham announced on their official website on the 18th, "Son Heung-min was confirmed to have a fracture in his right arm, which he complained of pain during the Aston Villa match," and added, "He will do his best in rehabilitation for several weeks."
