Can Son Heung-min recover quickly in time for the new season?
Son Heung-min underwent sports hernia surgery in England right after the season. He wasn”t at full strength as he needed to rest.
That didn’t stop him from fulfilling his duties as captain of the national team. He put on the captain’s armband when he joined the June call-up.
Once again, he was unable to play. He didn’t show up for the match against Peru. It was decided that he needed to rest.
Son Heung-min recovered quickly and came on for Hwang Hee-chan in the 23rd minute against El Salvador.
Heung-min was tied for eighth with Ki Sung-yueng for the most A-match appearances with 110, but his appearance against El Salvador took him to 111.
With this appearance, Heung-min passed Ki Sung-yueng for eighth place on the list of most appearances in A matches.
Son said, “It hasn’t been a long time since the surgery. 안전놀이터 I’m still scared because it’s been eight or nine months since the surgery. If I rest well, I think I’ll be back to 100%,” he said after the match against El Salvador.
Tottenham fan site ‘Spurs Web’ also said, “Son Heung-min has had pain for almost a year. There will be a psychological impact,” he said.
“I think it will take a few months for him to get back to his best,” he said, adding, “I hope he solves the problem before the new season.” He wished him a speedy recovery.
