Son Heung-min delivers injury update amid Tottenham supporters’ fear following South Korea goal

South Korea’s Son Heung-min reassured Tottenham fans that he is “fine” after an injury scare, following a strong showing and a goal for his national team. The South Korean star scored the third goal in a 5-0 World Cup qualifying match victory over Singapore, but he caused concern when he went down with an apparent injury in the second half. However, he eventually got back on the pitch and played the full 90 minutes, assuring fans of his fitness.

After the match, Son downplayed any fears about his condition, dismissing it as a minor issue. “I am fine now, I don’t like to lie down [on the pitch] in the winter! At that moment [I went down] I couldn’t feel anything on my foot,” he said, as reported by South Korean journalist Sungmo Lee. “It’s not only me, all players have small injuries but still play for the team… We are making a team for the World Cup, I can’t give up a game just because I feel pain.”

Following the win against Singapore, South Korea will face China in their next World Cup qualifying match. Meanwhile, Son will aim to maintain his impressive form for Tottenham when they return to action later this month.
