When Champions League against Marseille , Son Heung-min's left face was seriously injured near his eyes and was forced to leave early. After the game, Son Heung-min was also diagnosed with an orbital fracture and needed surgery, so he missed the last three games of Tottenham before the World Cup. After the operation was successful, Son Heung-min returned to the South Korean team preparing for the World Cup, wearing a special mask. Tottenham teammate and Uruguayan midfielder Bentankur joked that we Uruguayans know where to hit Son Heung-min.
Will Son Heung-min appear on the list of South Korea's first match against Uruguay? Former South Korean captain and current TV commentator Goo Ci-chul insisted that Son Heung-min will definitely appear in an interview with the media. Gu Cizhe said: "Sun Heung-min is full of passion for playing football. I don't think anyone can stop him from playing."
"Sun Heung-min never wants to miss any game. Although he can't head the ball, he will work hard. I look forward to his starting lineup. It's certainly uncomfortable to play football with a mask, and it will definitely not be 100%. But as far as I know him, this is the thing. South Korea needs to score, and even two goals to win. So who depends on the score? Everyone will say Son Heung-min." Gu Cizhe said.
Ju Cizhe emphasized that suffering such a serious injury before the World Cup is definitely a psychological burden to the players. "When a player is injured like Son Heung-min, even the biggest star will be afraid, but who can't stop him from wanting to play for the South Korean team. Son Heung-min always tells people that playing for the country is an honor, and he will do something special for South Korea."
