Hong Mingfu: Son Heung-min has suffered from injuries this season, and he will not force him to play against Kuwait

June 7th After defeating Iraq 2-0 away, the South Korean team secured the qualification to go directly to the World Cup one round ahead of schedule and advanced to the World Cup finals 11 consecutive times.

According to the Korean media "MyDaily", after returning home from the airport, South Korea's coach Hong Mingfu accepted an interview with reporters and talked about the relevant situation of the team's captain Son Heung-min, as well as the game arrangements for the last round of home court with Kuwait.

Hong Mingfu said: "Sun Heung-min had participated in the Europa League final. When communicating with the coaching staff, he said that he had no big problems, but I still have to arrange it based on his actual situation and game status. In fact, his condition did not reach 100%, and it would not be ideal to force him to play. This season, he has been plagued by injuries and it takes several days to determine whether he can play against Kuwait."

"Although he has limited role on the court at present, as an experienced player, he still played a great role off the court, and other players have been positively affected by him. Whether on and off the court, Son Heung-min is an important member of the team."

"In the next game with Kuwait, I think I can arrange some young players in the team to play. I think from now on and on the World Cup."
