Tottenham’s South Korean striker Son Heung-min, fortunately, is likely to return from injury sooner than originally expected, British media’Football London’ reported on the 16th local time.
Son Heung-min participated in the’North London Derby’ against Arsenal in the 28th round of the Premier League held on the 15th of Korea time. However, in the 19th minute of the first half, he was replaced with a left thigh hamstring brush after chasing a long through pass from his camp. After the game, coach Jose Mourinho said, “I don’t know how long it will take. Muscular injuries aren’t always simple,” he said, and he was hoping for an early return, adding that he usually recovers very quickly from all kinds of injuries.
According to information from’Football London’, it is possible that Son Heung-min’s injury, who had been worried about leaving for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, was lighter than expected. He is expected to return from the Premier League Round 30 Newcastle game scheduled for April 4, when the A Match Week, which he plays as the national team, is scheduled to end on April 4, and it is known that there is a possibility to play against Aston Villa as early as March 21 in the postponement of 18 rounds in the Premier League.
Son Heung-min suffered a similar situation last year. He collapsed against Newcastle due to a hamstring injury, but returned to Manchester United a week later and scored multiple goals and boasted a quick recovery. However, hamstring injuries are muscle injuries that have a high risk of recurrence. Usually, it recovers within 2 to 3 weeks, but it often recurs if it does not recover completely. Also, if the pain does not subside, it will take a long time to recover.
‘Football London’ added, “If Son Heung-min returns early, he will represent his country during the A-match break.” Korea and Japan will play a friendly match in Yokohama, Japan on the 25th, for the 80th time in Japan and Japan, as well as for the first time in 10 years. Son Heung-min is a representative player and has not yet had experience in Japan’s away game, so this time, he will play the first Japanese away team game in his life.
