Daily Mail | November 2, 2022

Son Heung-min's World Cup dream could be in tatters as he needs surgery on a fractured eye socket.

The South Korean suffered the injury during Tottenham's 2-1 Champions League win over Marseille on Wednesday and he will undergo surgery to stabilise the fracture.

Spurs did not put a timeframe on his return, but with South Korea playing Uruguay in the World Cup on November 24, the 30-year-old's participation is now in severe doubt.
