Korean men’s soccer team ‘captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is not expected to participate in the evaluation match against Peru.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play the first game of the two consecutive A-matches in June against Peru at the Asiad Main Stadium in Busan at 8:00 pm on the 16th.
Klinsmanho is aiming for a “victory victory” against South American powerhouse Peru, which is ranked 21st in the FIFA rankings.
However, Son Heung-min, who scored multiple goals in the friendly against Uruguay in March, which Klinsmann made his debut match, is unlikely to play in the match against Peru.
Son Heung-min, who finished the final match of the 38th round of the English Premier League on the 29th of last month, returned home after receiving surgery for a mild sports hernia.
After undergoing surgery and recovering for more than two weeks, Son Heung-min normally participated in the national team’s Busan convocation training that started on the 12th and is in sync with the Taegeuk Warriors in a bright manner, but coach Klinsman chose ‘protect the player’.
Son Heung-min was excluded from the Cheongbaekjeon and set-piece training held at Gudeok Stadium in Busan on the 14th, and started recovery training separately from the physical coach.
Son Heung-min has no problems in training, but it is known that it is difficult to put 100% of his energy into shooting.
Coach Klinsman plans to accompany goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu (Al-Shabaab) instead of captain Son Heung-min at the official press conference for the game against Peru scheduled at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the morning of the 15th.
If Son Heung-min falls out against Peru, there is a high chance that Oh Hyun-kyu (Celtic) will take over.
