Tottenham captain Son Heung-min returned from a hamstring injury on Saturday and scored a goal against West Ham with 20 minutes left, according to the British Evening Standard magazine on the 24th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min did not appear to be affected by injury issues in the match, but did not join Wednesday's team training session'
Son Heung-min suffered a hamstring injury against Karabakh in the last Europa League opener and did not play against Manchester United, Ferencvaros and Brighton. In addition, he was not called up in the two consecutive games of the Korean A national team.
Son Heung-min was able to return to the match against West Ham after a two-week recovery period.
Tottenham look for a third straight European win over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.

Son Heung-min, who started as a left winger, showed off his absolute influence by being involved in his team's three goals.
He was replaced by Timo Werner in the 15th minute of the second half when Tottenham leaned into a complete victory mode.
Son Heung-min, who suffered a hamstring injury in a home game against Karabakh FK in the first round of the Europa League on the 27th of last month, was excluded from the A national team's two consecutive games.
Until now, local media have raised rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer. There were numerous rumors of transfers, including Barcelona, Saudi Arabia, and AT Madrid, which are the most prestigious in La Liga.
Son Heung-min silently prepared for the comeback.
In the end, he proved it in real life. I showed everything for 70 minutes. He scored one goal and was not recorded as an assist, but assisted and induced an opponent's own goal.
He made 43 touches and 26 passes, and recorded a high-sensitivity pass success rate of 84%. He made four shots and two effective shots.
The BBC reported that Tottenham had already played overwhelmingly in the first half, and Son Heung-min's shot was blocked by Alphonse Areola, but it deflected off Jean-Claire Todibo's body and entered the goal. He scored with a finishing touch after the Hammers failed to clear a loose ball five minutes later. Tottenham's impressive attacking performance resulted in a fitting result.
It gave the second-highest rating for both teams. It was 7.92.
Tottenham's poor treatment of Son Heung-min continues. However, Son is proving in action. His absence is also being proved. Tottenham scored two goals in the first half against Brighton before dedicating three goals in the second half, experiencing a shocking upset.
It was a game that made me realize the absence of a mental pillar and core to lead the team. Postecoglou said 'The worst game since Tottenham's inauguration.
"The biggest reason for the upset loss against Brighton is Son Heung-min's absence," England legend Gary Lineker said.
