SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea coach Uli Stielike has recalled Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-Min ahead of next month's 2018 World Cup qualification games against Qatar and Iran.
Stielike allowed Son to miss the 1-1 draw with Syria earlier this month to focus on his career with Tottenham in the Premier League.
The attacker has gone on to score four goals in the subsequent three league games, including a double in the 2-1 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday that lifted Spurs into second spot.
"If you look at his performances of late, you can see that Son is playing well," Stielike said on Monday.
