Tottenham star Son Heung-min’s exit from Asian Cup could mean return vs Brighton

Son Heung-min's entourage unhappy with Tottenham Hotspur.

Son Heung-min should be available for the Brighton fixture

UK media outlet The Guardian mentions Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son will be available to play soon. Son’s South Korea bowed out of the competition against a low-tiered Jordan. This fulfils his national duty as of now, with an imminent return on the cards.

The Spurs skipper will report to Tottenham’s training ground on Thursday, He will be assessed before their home game against Brighton on the weekend. Despite missing out narrowly on the Asian Cup final berth, Heung-min Son’s confidence should be at its peak.

His side displayed dramatic football at the Asian Cup, where South Korea kept winning due to late goals. The Tottenham captain scored three goals in the campaign, including a stunning extra-time free-kick winner against Australia.

Facing an eighth-placed Brighton should be a cakewalk for Tottenham, who sit three positions above. However, the Seagulls are the giant killers, leaving many reasons for Tottenham to be wary of.

Finally So(n)me good news!

The fans have been waiting for this moment for weeks. The Tottenham captain returns to a much-changed Spurs squad. The captain will finally be training with the January arrivals Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin.

He will also be pairing up with a ‘newer than ever’ Richarlison. The latter stepped up quite stunningly in the absence of his skipper. Ange Postcoglou can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The former Celtic man now has access to a versatile Timo Werner, in-form Richarlison, surprise performer Brennan Johnson and his trusted aid, Dejan Kulusevski. Not to forget the return of another star from injury — James Maddison.

Tottenham will have Maddison and Son together in the squad for the first time since October.

The North London outfits are nothing short of an unmovable threat. Addressing defensive errors is the only thing they need to conquer their opponents for the remainder of the season.
