Jurgen Klinsmann has confirmed that Son Heung-min will not start South Korea's second friendly of the summer as he continues his recovery from his surgery.
This week it was revealed that Son had been dealing with a problem that required him to have an operation for a sports hernia after the final match of the season at Leeds United last month, before returning home to South Korea. It has now been a few weeks since the surgery and the Korean FA confirmed that the problem was not serious and Son has been undertaking recovery training sessions. However, he remained an unused substitute in Friday's 1-0 friendly defeat at home to Peru.
Now his international boss - and former Spurs attacker himself - Klinsmann has said he hopes Son will play some part in Tuesday's friendly against El Salvador.
