Tottenham ace Son Heung-min has confessed he had to contend with pain as a result of a hernia injury for the entirety of last season.
The news goes some way to explaining why Son found it so difficult last term, with the South Korean international ending the campaign on a hugely underwhelming tally of six goals last season. In the opening 18 games of the league season, Son bagged just one.
Soon after the campaign ended, Son opted to undergo surgery to rectify the issue and has discussed how much it impacted him while on international duty earlier this week. "I wondered a lot if I should even make this public, but I struggled with pain all season," he told TV Chosun.
