Tottenham’s star captain, Son Heung-min, swiftly addressed concerns among fans following a dramatic moment during South Korea’s 5-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Singapore. Son collapsed in agony, clutching his ankle near the end of the match, sparking worries about his availability for upcoming fixtures. However, the 31-year-old reassured supporters by stating he is “fine” and expects to be fit for the next match against China on Tuesday.

Son’s resilience and commitment to the team were evident in his post-match comments. He emphasized his determination to contribute to South Korea’s World Cup campaign, expressing that he won’t give up a game due to pain. Despite the temporary discomfort during the match, Son asserted that he is currently in good condition, dispelling any injury concerns.

Tottenham, currently in fourth place in the Premier League, faces potential challenges with injuries to James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven, who are expected to be sidelined until the New Year. Son’s reassurance comes as a relief to manager Ange Postecoglou, who has seen the team perform impressively despite the departure of goal machine Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
