Son Heung-min has been pictured training wearing a protective face mask as he continues to recover from the horrific eye injury which threatened his participation at the Qatar World Cup.
The Tottenham star was included in South Korea's squad after learning his injury would not force him out of the tournament, but it is likely Son will be sporting the mask in his country's group fixtures should he take part. Son suffered four fractures to his eye socket after clashing heads with Marseille defender Chancel Mbemba on November 1.
Spurs' forward fractured his orbital bone in the collision during the Champions League encounter and it was initially feared it would rule him out of the World Cup, but he now looks on course to feature in Korea's opening game against Uruguay on November 24 having undergone successful surgery.
