[OSEN=서정환 기자] Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham), captain of the Korean national team, now wears the Tottenham armband.

Tottenham will face Fulham in the ‘9th round of the 2023-24 Premier League season’ held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th. Tottenham, with 6 wins, 2 draws, and an undefeated streak, is leading the league.

Son Heung-min’s physical condition was the biggest concern. Son Heung-min, suffering from groin pain, missed the team’s training for the first three days following joining the South Korea national team. Son Heung-min focused on rehabilitation and condition by receiving massages and riding a bicycle.

Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said, “Son Heung-min will not be physically challenged as he does not play in the Champions League. “Son Heung-min will not want his playing time reduced,” he said, predicting that he will play once morest Tunisia. Contrary to concerns, Son Heung-min missed the Tunisia match. Son Heung-min, who continued to focus on recovery, played full time in the Vietnam game and scored one goal and one assist. Son Heung-min’s goal already made it 4-0, but Klinsmann was not replaced.

Son Heung-min left for London on the 19th. Son Heung-min, who met numerous fans at Incheon Airport, is known to have kindly signed autographs for all the fans for over 20 minutes. Son Heung-min, who has now changed into a Tottenham uniform, attempts to score his 7th goal in the league.

According to British media such as ‘The Week’, coach Postecoglou, who confirmed the status of Son Heung-min and Christian Romero (Argentina), who returned from the national team, gave the ‘ok sign’ to play once morest Fulham.

Postekoglou said, “The international break period had a positive effect on us. “Everyone underwent a medical test and was diagnosed with no particular physical problems,” he said, confirming Son Heung-min’s participation in the Fulham match.

Son Heung-min is closely following leading scorer Erling Holland (Man City, 8 goals) with his 6th league goal. Son Heung-min, who is perfectly filling the void left by Harry Kane, is challenging to become the second top scorer despite being left out. / jasonseo34@osen.co.kr
