Kane was the club's top scorer in the last two seasons and
has netted twice in five league appearances this campaign but
the England striker sustained an ankle injury earlier this
month.
Meanwhile, South Korea international Son has scored five goals
in all competitions for Spurs this season, including a brace in
Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win at Middlesbrough.
"I think it is key. It is very important that not only Harry,
who was good before his injury and scored, that now another
player has scored and that is very important for the team,"
Pochettino told reporters.
"I feel very pleased for Sonny. He is on fire and to keep this
form is very important for us."
Pochettino also explained the reasoning behind his decision to
replace striker Vincent Janssen, top scorer in the Dutch league
last season, with winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou a few minutes
before Son scored the winning goal in Moscow.
"We tried to find more mobility in our offensive position. It is
for that reason we changed Vincent for N'Koudou, to have more
pace down the sides," he added.
"First touch we find the link and it was fantastic the goal.
Sometimes when you change, it goes well and sometimes no."
