Tottenham Hotspur's 『Captain" Son Heung-min (32), who went into rehabilitation amid great concern, is in full physical condition and is preparing to play. As if he was satisfied with his recovery, he posted photos and posts on social media announcing his return.
Son Heung-min seems to have recovered his normal condition. Son Heung-min, who has always played for the national team with dedication as a captain of the Korean national soccer team, is missing the ongoing October A-match. It is to recover from the injury. The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, played the third Asian qualifying round for the FIFA 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. against Jordan in Amman, Jordan, on the 10th. Son Heung-min was out due to injury, but won 2-0. On the 15th, he will face Iraq at Mir Stadium in Yongin.
Son Heung-min injured his left hamstring in the first round of the UEFA Europa League phase against Karabakh on the 27th of last month. At first, it didn't seem too serious. However, Son Heung-min did not appear in his team's three games afterwards. Didn't play against Manchester United, Ferencvarosie and Brighton and Hove Albion.
As a result, the Korea Football Association (KFA) decided to exclude Son from the list of A-match teams in October. If Son Heung-min is absent, a big loss to the national team's power is inevitable. However, he could not force Son Heung-min to come out of his team's game due to injury. It's a natural choice. Long flights and playing can make injuries worse.
Son Heung-min soothed the disappointment of not being included in the national team list by focusing on rehabilitation. Fortunately, it worked. He seems to have regained his normal condition by rehabilitating and training hard during the A-match break.
He expressed his confidence directly on social media. As if it was right after the training, he posted a picture of him sitting with a towel around his neck on the bench of the training ground, putting his hands together and fixing his gaze far away. His expression is full of confidence that he can run at any time. There are no signs of injury. Son added the phrase 'Back soon' under the picture. This means that he is now ready to completely shake off his injury and play normally.
Local media also predicted that Son Heung-min will return soon. The Premier Injury', which specializes in the injury situation of Premier League players, expected Son Heung-min to return before West Ham on the 19th. Tottenham's return from injury is expected to be against West Ham United on the 19th.
