'Potential heartbreaker': South Korea sweats on Son's World Cup fate | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️
South Korea’s midfielder Son Heung-min waves to his fans after a friendly football match between South Korea and Brazil at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul on June 2, 2022.
The nasty injury, which Son picked up in a Champions League win over Marseille earlier this week, has put his World Cup in doubt.“Regarding Son Heung-min’s status for the World Cup, we will have to monitor his progress after the surgery,” the KFA said.The Daily Telegraph reported that Son had four fractures to his eye socket, with surgery brought forward to Friday to give him more time to recover.
In October last year he came 11th in the voting for the Ballon d’Or, the prestigious award for the world’s best player, and last season jointly won the English Premier League’s Golden Boot for most goals scored. “And he has added lethal free-kicks to his game, which could be Korea’s main source for goals in Qatar.”
“There should be ways he can help the team as a reserve,” he said. “He can also be a cheerleader on the bench for some younger guys.”
