Most Valuable Player
South Korea’s captain Heung-Min Son has to undergo facial surgery three weeks before the first World Cup match against Uruguay and is therefore concerned about his game in Qatar. The operation was necessary to “stabilize a fracture around his left eye,” said Tottenham Hotspur after the 2-1 (0-1) win in the Champions League against Olympique Marseille. Son had to be substituted on Tuesday evening after 29 minutes.

With a market value of 75 million euros, Son is South Korea’s most valuable player, who, after Uruguay, meet Ghana and Portugal in Group H of the World Cup. “Whether Son can participate in the World Cup or not will be judged after the operation,” the South Korean federation said, according to the US news agency “AP”.
We can confirm that Heung-Min Son will undergo surgery to stabilize a fracture around his left eye.
