Son Heung-min’s expression is very bright as he warms up at the indoor training ground.

Son Heung-min, who missed the last three games due to a thigh hamstring injury, announced his return.

“good morning.”

Since he appears to have completed normal team training, including running training to increase his speed as well as ball training, he appears likely to play against Aston Villa tonight.

“Son Heung-min trained today, and if he trains tomorrow (the 2nd), I think he will be fine.”

Son Heung-min’s return is also good news for the Korean national soccer team ahead of the second consecutive match in the Middle East in the third round of the Asian region qualifiers for the North, Central and American World Cup.

Coach Hong Myung-bo will announce the national team roster for the two-game series between Kuwait and Palestine tomorrow morning, and if Son Heung-min shows a healthy appearance in his return game, Coach Hong’s shoulders are expected to feel much lighter.

The key is practical sense. Son Heung-min worked hard on his recovery and rehabilitation, playing only one of Tottenham’s seven recent games.

As Coach Hong, who went on a business trip to Europe and the Middle East to discover future resources for the national team, inspected promising players such as Lee Young-jun who are active in Switzerland, attention is also focused on whether new players will be selected this time.
