Also, he had his left hamstring taped during the match.
Coach Espirito Santo declined to comment about Son’s condition. He added that Son is fit to play. However, the South Korean star had a strange feeling during the warmup. Tottenham will assess him.
Bento selected Son believing that the player is healthy. Also, he said that Son is in good condition and has no problems. According to online sports betting experts, Son played 90 minutes against Manchester City. Then he played 72 minutes against Wolverhampton.
Son was one of the eleven midfielders on the national team. Bento picked midfielders who can take on several responsibilities. Also, the team will take on two teams from Group A during the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
After the round-robin stage, the top two teams of each group will qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Also, two-third placers will play a playoff game to determine who will face a team from another region.
