South Korea coach Paulo Bento has confirmed that he will include Tottenham forward Son Heung-min in his final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The 30-year-old suffered a fracture near his left eye during Tottenham's Champions League win over Marseille and underwent surgery.
Son's injury casted a serious doubt about his availability for South Korea first game at the World Cup against Uruguay, however, he said in an Instagram post on Wednesday that he will be available for selection at the World Cup.
"Of course, he's going to be selected," Bento told reporters as quoted by supersport.com, adding that there was no 'Plan B'.
"It's a situation that's going to demand certain things and adaptations. We should let him come and do what he should do. And after that, we have time to make the right decision and best decisions for all of us.
"For us, it's something normal from Sonny. We already had other moments where he was injured and he wanted to play. So it's not a surprise at all for us."
South Korea have been drawn in Group H alongside Uruguay, Ghana and Portugal.
