It is said that Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham)’s injury was not as serious as the initial concern. The Korea Football Association is planning to decide sooner or later whether to select Son Heung-min’s national team after discussing it with the club.
On the 17th (Korean time), British media’Football London’ reported that “Son Heung-min’s injury is not as bad as expected.” Son Heung-min started an away game against Arsenal in the Premier League round 28 in the 2020-21 season held at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 15th, and was replaced with a hamstring injury in 18 minutes in the first half. Initially, local media predicted that it would take a considerable amount of time for Son Heung-min to recover. However, Football London said, “Son Heung-min’s return may be faster than expected. After the A-match break, we can join the Newcastle United expedition on April 4th, and maybe even the Aston Villa expedition.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) also believes that Son Heung-min’s injury is less serious than expected. An official from the Football Association said, “The club said,’Son Heung-min’s injuries are minor, but we are closely grasping the physical condition such as the injured area.’
It is also a variable that the Korea-Japan War will be played as a game among related players. The rules of the International Football Federation (FIFA) stipulate that if the team is required to self-isolate for more than 5 days after returning to the national team, the team can refuse to vote. The British government has enforced a special rule that only elite athletes are exempted from quarantine if they are tested for novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) immediately after returning home and are negatively judged. It is known that it only applies when. It is said that if the Korea-Japan War is held in the midst of an interest, Tottenham may refuse to borrow on the basis of this.
However, the association judges that the game is not related to the selection of Son Heung-min. An official from the association explained, “Before Son Heung-min was injured, the club did not mention the conditions related to the audience.”
On the other hand, the association said that Hwang Hee-chan (25, Leipzig), who was included in the national team list, said, “It was concluded that it was impossible to borrow due to the quarantine regulations of the health authorities in Saxony, Germany. There is no substitute selection.”
