Son Heung-min addressed concerns about his form and fitness on Wednesday, focusing on helping South Korea qualify for the World Cup.
The 32-year-old forward has had a tough season with Tottenham, struggling with both form and fitness, as Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League. After dealing with a hamstring issue last year, Son has faced criticism from fans, scoring just seven league goals and not completing a full 90 minutes in the last five matches.
Ahead of a home World Cup qualifier against Oman, Son acknowledged the “difficult and challenging” times at Tottenham but assured reporters, “My physical condition is perfectly fine.”
He expressed extra motivation to play in front of South Korean fans, saying, “Our fans always root hard for us, and we don’t want to let them down.” Son has earned 131 caps and scored 51 goals for his country.
