South Korea's Son Heung-min reacts after an unsuccessful attack during the international friendly soccer match between South Korea and Vietnam at the Suwon World Cup Stadium in Paldal-gu, Suwon, South Korea, on Sunday afternoon. 

The physical condition of 'Clean Sweepers' captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is a big concern for fans in England. British media have expressed concern over Son, who played full-time against Vietnam despite leg pain.

"Son Heung-min played full-time against Vietnam, 카지노사이트랭크 sparking injury fears for Tottenham fans," Football London reported on June 18 (KST).

Son had scored a goal in the friendly against Vietnam at the Suwon World Cup Stadium the previous day (Nov. 17), helping South Korea to a 6-0 victory.

Son, who missed the 4-0 win over Tunisia on Sept. 13 due to a leg injury, was a doubt for the match but played the entire first half without being substituted.

"He was seen limping to the dressing room with the score 2-0 at half-time, raising serious concerns about a muscle problem," said Football London, "but he returned in the second half to help England to a 6-0 victory, allaying fears."

"It was worrying to see Son Heung-min in pain, as he has been the subject of injury doubts in recent weeks. It's not a sight Tottenham officials wanted to see."

However, contrary to fears, it appears that Son Heung-min personally asked Jürgen Klinsmann to play.

"I personally met with the coach and told him I could play," he said in a post-match interview. It was unacceptable for me to come to Korea and not play in front of the fans."

He also explained that there was nothing wrong with his physical condition, which had raised concerns. "As a soccer player, you have to deal with injuries," he said, "I got hit in the first half, but it didn't affect me (physically). I will continue to play well when I return to my team."

Meanwhile, Son's Tottenham will host Fulham on Sept. 24 in the ninth round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) season. Spurs are in first place with six wins and two draws (20 points). The Tottenham captain is second in goals with six, behind only Elling Holland (eight - Manchester City). 섯다
