While the Portugal international has since undergone successful surgery and Son has seen his red card rescinded upon appeal - he notably chose not to celebrate his two goals against FK Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday evening.
"Of course it has been a really tough few days but I have realised how lucky I am with all the support I have had from the fans and my team-mates," Son told Eurosport.

"I can say I'm really sorry for the accident and the situation but I had to focus for the team and I had to keep going and it was the right response to all the people who have supported me.
"I didn't want to celebrate because I just want to respect the situation. Of course, I still feel really sorry about this ... It's been a few tough days. I wish Andre Gomes gets well soon and best wishes."
