Heung-Min Son has apologised for having to leave Tottenham Hotspur in mid-January in order to join up with South Korea at the AFC Asian Cup.
It will be the second time this season that Son has missed a run of club games in order to represent his country after he missed the start of the campaign because of his Asian Games commitments.
The 26-year-old is set to depart after Spurs' Premier League game against Manchester United on January 13 and could subsequently miss fixtures against Fulham, Chelsea, Watford and Newcastle, as well as a possible FA Cup fourth-round match.
