JAKARTA South Korea also included Son Heung Min in the Qatar 2022 World Cup squad even though the Tottenham Hotspur striker was still injured and had just finished surgery.

Son, who is 30 years old, had doubts about getting to Qatar after undergoing surgery on a cracked eye cavity he suffered earlier this month. However, he himself then convinced fans that he could play.

Coach Paulo Bento said he was not sure when Son could start training again. Therefore, he could not have started when Korea had their first match against Uruguay on November 24.

"We don't have that information yet. We are in touch with him, with the Tottenham Hotspurs medical department. We have to wait, we need to analyze the situation day by day," Bento said, reported by BBC Sport.

"We have time to decide and the most important thing is that he recovers as well as possible, he feels comfortable, and then we will make the final decision," he added.

Son may need to wear a face shield if he dares to take it earlier in Qatar. Apart from meeting Uruguay, South Korea will also face Ghana and Portugal in Group H.

Apart from son, the other players brought were Kim Min-jae from Napoli and Hwang Hee-chan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Son et al. will try to bring their country to the knockout system stage for the first time in 12 years.
