When Son Heung-min returns to Tottenham training after South Korea World Cup exit

Son Heung-min is set to return to training at Hotspur Way on Wednesday, December 14, following South Korea's exit from the World Cup. The 30-year-old talisman led his nation to the round of 16 in Qatar before Brazil stood in their way.

He featured in each of South Korea's fixtures at the World Cup, playing a key role in the sides success despite nursing an injury. Son fractured his left eye just weeks before the tournament in the first-half of Spurs' 2-1 UEFA Champions League win over Marseille.

The forward was caught in the face when challenging for a header with Chancel Mbemba. Doubt was quickly cast as to whether Son would travel to Qatar to captain South Korea at the World Cup, but he later underwent surgery around his eye.
