Son Heung-min participated in team training after returning to Tottenham Hotspur. Fans are also relieved.
Tottenham fan community ‘Spurs Web’ shared a video from the UK’s ‘Football Daily’ on the 14th (Korean time). The video showed Son Heung-min training with Tottenham players. Meanwhile, ‘Spurs Web’ mentioned, “Son Heung-min also participated in training today. There are no concerns about injury.”
Son Heung-min recently played the September international match schedule as a member of the Korean national soccer team. After facing Wales (0-0 draw)스포츠토토, they faced Saudi Arabia. In the match, Korea won 1-0 with Cho Kyu-sung’s winning goal. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann reported his first win in six games since taking office as head coach of the Korean national team.
At the time, the British media was surprised ahead of the Saudi War. This was due to concerns about Son Heung-min’s injury. The UK’s ‘Football London’ also commented, “Son Heung-min was spotted wearing an ice pack, which caused fear among Tottenham fans. Fortunately, the concerns disappeared as he was named in the starting list for the Saudi Arabia match.”
The A-match schedule is over. Because Son Heung-min played full time in both games, he may not have fully recovered physically. Because of this, Tottenham fans were also worried about Son Heung-min’s condition, but he shook off their concerns by participating normally in team training.
Son Heung-min’s goal now is to achieve four consecutive league wins and score his 200th career goal in Europe. Tottenham will play the 5th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) against Sheffield United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 11 pm on the 16th. Currently, Tottenham is in second place in the league (10 points) with 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 games.
Tottenham is enjoying a good start to the season. They drew with Brentford in the league opener, but have been on a three-game winning streak since. In particular, Son Heung-min’s performance was dazzling in the last game against Burnley. Son Heung-min was deployed as a lone striker in his first three games, replacing the silent Richarlison at the front. And he proved that the choice was not wrong by scoring a hat trick.
Son Heung-min has been on the European stage so far, scoring 20 goals for Hamburg and 29 goals for Leverkusen. And he is scoring 148 goals while wearing a Tottenham uniform. A total of 197 goals. Now you only need to score 3 goals to set a record. Son Heung-min played 5 games against Sheffield and scored 2 goals and 3 assists. He showed a strong side by producing one attack point per game.
