Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham), who has been worried about his injury, is ready to play against Fulham. Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou said that Son is "healthy".

Tottenham will host Fulham in the ninth round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Thursday (Aug. 24) at 4 a.m. kickoff.

With eight games played, Tottenham is leading the league with six wins, two draws, and 20 points. They need a win against Fulham to stay there.

There is a lot of interest in the availability of Son Heung-min, who limped off with fitness issues during the October A-match.

He returned home on October 8 to fulfill his national team commitments. At the time, it was unclear if he would be able to play in the back-to-back A-League matches due to his fitness issues and a groin injury. Heung-min played for Tottenham until the last minute before returning to South Korea.

As a result, Heung-min did not play in the first match against Tunisia (a 4-0 win for South Korea) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sept. 13.

However, he played the full match against Vietnam (6-0) at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Sunday, scoring a goal with an assist from Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton).

Speaking to the media after the game, Son said, "I thought a lot about whether to play or not. However, I realized that it would be unacceptable for me not to play in front of so many Korean fans. After consulting with the coach, I said I would play." 온라인카지노

However, Son Heung-min was spotted limping after the first half of the Vietnam game, which raised concerns. Luckily, it wasn't an injury that would prevent him from playing for his team.

"Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero had some discomfort during the A-match, but both players are healthy," manager Angie Postecoglou said at the pre-match press conference against Fulham, according to British media outlet Metro.

"For us, the A-match period was positive. They all underwent medical tests and were told there was nothing wrong with their bodies.

Son Heung-min will attempt to score his seventh league goal against Fulham.
