The Tottenham Hotspur attacker was injured against Qatar earlier this week.
The coach of South Korea has been speaking after his side’s 3-2 defeat to Qatar, with his comments published by French newspaper L’Equipe.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-min Son started the match but he was replaced in the first half with a suspected fractured arm, and now Uli Stielike has had his say on the situation.
“We will have a scan as it (Son’s arm) could be fractured,” Stielike told L’Equipe.
Son has not had the chance to rest following the end of the domestic season and if he has done some serious damage it will be a blow for the player, although he will still be hoping to be fit for the start of Tottenham’s upcoming campaign.
Last season Son featured 47 times in all competitions, scoring a very impressive 21 goals and providing 10 assists to emphatically prove his importance to Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
He dramatically eased the burden on top-scorer Harry Kane and will be expected to play a major role again next season, as Tottenham look to challenge for the Premier League title and go further in the Champions League.
Only time will tell how that plays out, but for now the 24-year-old will be hoping the results of his upcoming scan show no major damage.
Otherwise he will not have the completely relaxing break he deserves.
